I come from a family of real estate entrepreneurs. My grandparents owned scores of real estate during the throes of the segregated South. My Dad owned stores where my brother and I worked summers and learned early lessons in accounting and inventory control. After receiving licenses to practice law in D.C., Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey, my first career as a corporate defense trial attorney placed me in courtrooms almost weekly. It was there that my focus on facts and data was honed. It is a unique skill to see facts, make sense of them, then craft narratives that paint a picture. Facts tell us what has transpired and teach us those best practices to better plan in the future.

My second career was working in a new family construction company where I earned a Class A Contractor’s license in Virginia and became certified in Quality Control Construction Management by the Corps of Engineers. My work on construction sites proved to be the most valuable experiences that revealed an opportunity to innovate in this industry. When I talk to construction professionals, from financiers and developers to architects and contractors, there is a common recognition that the ability to identify paths that create efficiencies, which lead to expanded profit margins is an achievable goal. Through the collection of actionable, objective real-time data, we will tell the unique story of your project.
