I’ve always enjoyed solving problems, whether through a challenging game of chess or navigating the intricacies of a financing transaction. I appreciate the strategy involved in protecting my clients’ interests while simultaneously finding practical solutions that move a deal forward. Tax credit financing is a particularly rewarding endeavor because, not only is the work intellectually complex and interesting, but the result has a tangible impact, helping bring developments to life and creating opportunities for the communities they serve.
Before entering the legal profession, I spent several years in management roles within the health care industry, where I developed an appreciation for the importance of accountability, consistency, and following through on commitments. Those experiences continue to shape my approach to client service – reinforcing my belief that persistence and hard work are essential to achieving meaningful results.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through calisthenics and spending time at the gym. I also enjoy playing pool and spending time with my wife and three young children, whether we’re taking long walks or playing a competitive game of Uno.
I represent developers, investors, and other participants in tax credit financing and syndication transactions, helping clients navigate complex financing structures and bring development projects to fruition. My experience includes contract review, regulatory compliance, and advising businesses on legal considerations affecting their operations.
