EDUCATION: Harvard College (AB), Oxford University (BA), University of Miami (JD)

NOTABLE TREND: Florida's entitlement industry is becoming more strategic and less process-driven. State law increasingly shapes local approvals, changing the advisor's role. The value is no longer just moving applications through city hall, but helping clients underwrite statutory pathways, assess where preemption reduces risk and position projects before acquisition.

NEXT GEN ADVICE: Always create a “north star” for yourself, with a vision of where you want to be and what you want to be doing at some point in the future, and then take all of your next steps in the direction of that star.

DAILY RITUAL: I do my very best to read every day on a variety of subject matters, intentionally blocking out time with as little distraction as possible. Because much of my day involves meetings, calls and email, I intentionally find time for what Cal Newport calls “deep work.”
