Basketball and playing with my kids.
I start each day with the blissful chaos of a morning with 3 children under age 7; full of smiles and tears all at the same time. An average work day often includes working with our architects and consultants on building design, meeting with neighbors regarding their thoughts and needs for a project, a hard-hat tour on a job site, considering new interior design selections, reviewing financial analysis on new or shifting projects, and a bit of accounting and financial reporting efforts for our investors. Then, on days when we do not have late neighborhood meetings, I end the day settling down the kids and trying to help my amazing/beautiful soul-mate (Jennie). On fewer days than I would like, I am able to include an early morning workout and/or some late night reading.
Real estate development offers a very unique opportunity to effect dramatic change on the cities in which we work. We create new buildings from nothing – often in places that have been neglected and underutilized. Our work is endlessly rewarding and energizing.
Follow your bliss. The No. 1 thing you want to accomplish by the time you turn 40: In the eyes of my children, I want to be the best dad in the world.
