A typical day in my life includes…
my day usually starts in the gym. My work begins with consulting with real estate clients, and analyzing the market for new deals and activity. I try to break for lunch with a friend whenever possible. In the afternoon I’ll typically stop by one or two of our construction job sites. In the evening I try to get a little done on our latest project designs, and then help my fiancé Megan with dinner (I’m the grill-master, she does everything else). If it’s nice out maybe take a quick jog or bike ride with our dog Lucy.
