I co-founded and manage the Southern California office of EDGE Realty Partners. I have 25+ years of experience in corporate retail real estate and brokerage, and specialize in strategic planning, site selection, financial analysis, analytics and transaction services for national and regional retailers and restaurants in seven western states.

During my brokerage career, I have exclusively represented notable retailers and restaurants such as Barnes & Noble, Hobby Lobby, Office Depot, Pier 1, Chase Bank, BevMo!, PacSun, Coldwater Creek, Buffalo Wild Wings, Famous Dave’s BBQ, Applebee’s, Wendy’s and Del Taco. I leverage my unique experience as a corporate market analyst to assist fast-growing chain retailers in developing long-term strategies for sustainable growth. It is this expertise that has enabled me to serve not only in a brokerage capacity but as an outsourced real estate advisor reporting directly to key executives of the companies I serve.
