40 Under 40: “It’s never WHAT you know in life…” Relationships are everything


If you could dine with anyone dead or alive who would you choose?

Ray Kroc – to ask why he apparently/allegedly broke his handshake promise to the McDonald Brothers. What is your greatest professional accomplishment?

In real estate, becoming an integral part and proud VP of one of the “NJ Best Places to Work,” TRANSWESTERN. What is your most notable project, deal or transaction?

Winning MAREJ’s “Largest Retail Lease” award in 2010 for the Harvest Restaurant deal in Morristown, NJ. More recently, successfully completing a 259,000 s/f renewal for a world-famous Berkshire Hathaway company. How do you contribute to your company and/or the industry?

For TRANSWESTERN I have many initiatives - from creatively marketing properties* to creating buyer, seller, tenant, and agency relationships with landlords, building owners, tenants and the like. To date I have successfully done so with many brands from FACONNABLE to a major Berkshire Hathaway company, to Daniel Cremieux luxury clothing, HUGO BOSS, Overland Sheepskin Company, Harvest Restaurant Group, and many more.
