Writer and independent consultant specializing in real estate and urban economics. In addition to writing for several publications on Medium, I am a contributing writer for Seeking Alpha and Propmodo. I am also the lead author for the Urban Land Institute’s annual Emerging Trends in Real Estate publication and a frequent guest speaker at industry and private events.

Previously I served as Chief U.S. Economist for Colliers International for five years, leading the national research team, supervising the content of the firm’s national market reports and white papers, and serving as the firm’s primary U.S. economic spokesperson in the media and at industry events.

Prior to Colliers, I spent eight years at Deutsche Asset Management (RREEF), most recently as Director, Research & Strategy in the Americas, where I managed the U.S. Research team and was the retail sector and sustainability specialist.
