What attracted you to HCP?

The chance to broaden my lens as an investor beyond real estate and to learn new things. The opportunity to work with an amazing group of colleagues and clients.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Family and kid activities. I also love playing guitar but admit I am a terrible player. I am inspired by the music of artists like Eric Johnson, Jeff Beck, and Steve Vai.

Little known fact(s) about me:

I grew up in Northeast Indiana, because my dad was from small-town Ohio and my mom was from Chicago-land. I still love it there and will forever be a Big Ten fan.

Ask me about:

The one time that Conan O’Brien elbowed me in the head and then didn’t give me a Stone Cold Steve Austin tee-shirt. I will never forgive him.
