I am currently based in Gainesville, FL and I primarily focus on Student Housing Development throughout the United States. I develop and sell Student Housing projects.  Currently I am working on two projects in Arkansas, one in Texas and many, many more.  The most exciting thing that has happened for me this year is completing a transaction at my alma matter, ECU. I just closed on Pirates Place apartments directly across from Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium and sold it to American Campus Communities. I represented the Seller and the Purchaser. Oddly enough the Seller's Cheif Financial Officer also graduated from ECU. I even got to see the NCSU-ECU game while in town on the business trip.
Thanks to ECU for all of the life events that you prepared me for. Happy 101 Birthday as well!
