I have been in the asset and property management business for over 30 years. Having started on the ownership side as an asset manager for 10 years, I worked with some of the best firms and people in the business and also some of the worst. When I moved to the 3rd party side more than 20 years ago, my desire was to share the best I have seen with our teams and make sure we are always one step better than many of the good firms we compete with. At NAI Hiffman I have never felt more challenged, worked harder and at the same time had this much fun in my career.

Having recently become an empty nester, my wife of 38 years and I purchased a country house where we spend the weekends breathing the fresh country air and relaxing. In the summer that also includes golfing with my wife, grown children and friends. With a very busy work week, I try to keep it low-key on the weekends to get recharged for the week ahead.
