As the leader of the firm’s real estate and construction industry, I oversee a team serving more than 2,000 clients ranging from general contractors and subcontractors; heavy highway contractors; commercial real estate companies; REITs and real estate funds; affordable housing; and other related areas. Considered a close partner to many clients, I can draw on my deep industry expertise to counsel them at a high level and provide solutions to complex problems.
I’m known for my ability to lead a highly collaborative team of professionals who work in multiple disciplines within the industry. Previously, I served as the partner-in-charge of the firm’s real estate practice where I specialized in housing and community development (HCD). The HCD practice distinguishes Plante Moran as one of the few firms to be recognized nationally for its expertise.
I’m a frequent speaker at state and national conferences on financial incentive topics, such as structuring historic tax credit deals and the challenges and benefits to mixed-income and mixed-use developments. I’m a member of the AICPA and the Michigan Association of CPAs. I also serve as the treasurer for the Michigan Housing Council and previously served as board chair for Habitat for Humanity – Capital Region.
If I’m not working, I’m likely to be outdoors, either clay target shooting, hunting, or fishing. My wife and I spend most of our free time with our three adult children and enjoy spending time with friends and our extended family.
