I have worked for the Paramount Group since April 2001. My daily vision is to positively influence someone's life, client or employee, (hopefully both) by being involved in our business. I'm married, have a lovely wife, and three wonderful children. Our world is always changing, and I like to think that what we do, makes a difference. Please feel free to reach out to me or our team if we can help you in any way. We are here to serve our community and our practice Gr-101 to best of our ability.
