About
I’ve always been more interested in possibility than convention.
The problems that have fascinated me throughout my career are the ones that seem to have no obvious solution. Whether reimagining overlooked buildings, finding new ways to finance real estate, or bringing together disciplines that rarely work together, I’ve been drawn to challenges that require new ways of thinking—and practical ways to make them happen.
My career has taken me through architecture, urban design, real estate development, public policy, entrepreneurship and financial technology. To me, they were never separate careers. Each was another way to understand how cities work—and another tool for solving problems worth solving.
Curiosity has led me into some unexpected places. I’ve developed more than 18 buildings, built Pittsburgh’s first tiny house, launched an online magazine, organized a speaker series, co-founded Open Streets Pittsburgh, founded one of the first regulated real estate crowdfunding platforms in the United States, and most recently co-developed a carefully curated 15-unit residential building in Melbourne, Australia, embodying thoughtful, sustainable and connected design.
I still do my best work where disciplines intersect, conventional thinking reaches its limits, and ambitious ideas need someone who can connect people, ideas and resources to make them happen.
What if there’s a better way? That’s still the question that motivates me every day.
