Welcome 

The following is a history and resume of my professional experience:

 

I started my career as a CPA in Miami, Florida, working for one of the big six (now big 4) tax and accounting firms (Price Waterhouse Coopers). My area of specialization was real estate developers and contractors, doing auditing and tax work. I transferred to Tampa, ultimately starting my own practice, again specializing in these industries. At that time, I began investing myself in real estate for both the investment potential and the tax shelter. I have owned and operated office buildings, apartments, condos and rental houses, a mobile home park, retail centers and farms, as well as vacant land investments. I also have developed most of these types of investments as well.

 

For a number of years I focused primarily on development and let other people handle the construction, but when I began to develop more office buildings I came to realize that I lost an element of control by not doing construction myself, and that if I did the construction I was better able to manage costs and control timing of the projects. It also improved the marketing efforts on the projects, so I got my contractor license and began to do contracting of my own developments as well. I have done construction on almost every project that I have developed, and since 2000 have done all of the construction on all projects I developed.

 

When commercial markets slowed in 2009 - 2010, I began doing primarily residential work, including building homes (in Vero Beach, Florida) and doing remodeling and additions to high end condominiums (in Sarasota, Florida), ultimately preparing to develop office buildings when the market recovered to the point where it was profitable to do so. While I have done a lot of residential development, I much prefer commercial development and have a great deal of experience in it and am moving fully towards the development of office products again.

 

I have listed below a partial list of commercial projects that I have developed and / or constructed in the past:

I am the sole developer on all of these projects. In developing these projects, I did land and site development as well as doing all construction on some 300 individual office buildings. I have not listed any residential projects as they are much smaller in scope and I really do not intend to continue any residential activity.

 

I have constructed well over 300 office buildings in these parks for virtually every kind of occupancy imaginable. I am heavily experienced in developing medical and especially dental buildings, both general practice and specialties, and can assist buyers in making the transition to property owner a smooth and exciting one.

 

In addition to the identified commercial projects above, I have done commercial property management and maintenance, including repairs and remodels of existing properties. I am a licensed Florida Certified Building Contractor. Please feel free to contact me for further information or with any questions you may have.
