About

Executive leader (VP, SVP, CDO) delivering measurable capital, infrastructure, and resilience outcomes across nonresidential construction, federal facilities, healthcare systems, data centers, and ESG development. I've directed $1B+ in portfolios, delivered $600M+ across 12 states, and structured $150M in NMTC, LIHTC, HTC, USDA, and CDFI capital for mission‑critical projects.

I specialize in stabilizing politically sensitive programs, restoring mission‑critical operations, and converting complex, multi‑source capital into shovel‑ready, defensible outcomes. My work spans federal campuses, secure facilities, hospitals, senior living, and community infrastructure—environments where precision, compliance, and continuity of operations determine success.

Representative Results

  • Delivered a $350M federal COOP redevelopment, reducing schedule risk by 25% through streamlined approvals and cross‑agency coordination.
  • Structured and deployed $144M+ in blended ESG capital, integrating NMTC, HTC, USDA, and CDFI financing.
  • Directed $75M in healthcare and disaster‑recovery delivery, restoring hospitals and research facilities to operational readiness.
  • Repositioned 800+ units and launched a 501(c)(3) serving more than 2,500 residents.
  • Closed $150M across three blended transactions for high‑impact, mission‑critical developments.
  • Reduced schedules by 18% through sequencing, risk allocation, and disciplined scope control.

How I Deliver

I create clarity in complex environments. I design capital stacks that attract institutional ESG investment, write contract language that eliminates ambiguity, and sequence work so construction teams never inherit surprises. I lead negotiations that protect mission integrity, secure long‑term tenants, and move boards, lenders, and agencies from debate to decision.

Leadership Approach

Relentless about the details. Clear in communication. Generous with the team. I stay in the room until the program is stable and the outcome is defensible. Accountability is nonnegotiable.

Target Roles
