Greg is by far one of the best managers I have ever encountered in my professional career. From financial modeling to arranging complex fund structures, Greg has an innate ability to lead and teach.

Greg was born to be a consultant. He has a wide spectrum of interests, an uncanny ability to swiftly assess an issue, and a deep reservoir of skills to solve it.

I was impressed with his organization, command of real estate finance, accounting, and development, attention to detail, and strong work ethic. Greg was always clear in his expectations and supportive.

Prior to Greg’s time, our sources for information and knowledge were varied, unorganized, and not complete. Greg reshaped the organization by hiring a controller and setting up a structure. He is very intelligent and understands the big picture of what an organization needs.

I always found him to be someone that you could rely on for accurate information and also a clever problem-solver, coming up with solutions that were outside the box. He always seemed to find time to lend a hand, and with his valuable suggestions, make my job a little easier.

Greg asks the right questions, takes the right initiative, follows through, and makes it easy for us to be better at what we do. He’s thoughtful, conscientious, and very smart. We’re fortunate to get to work with him.

Greg brought an incredibly astute and solution-oriented mindset to what was an incredibly complex finance and accounting landscape. He was able to bring order to the chaos and build robust, sustainable systems to support the growth of the operating entities, the fund, and several complex joint ventures.

Greg is a highly educated investor with a keen ability to analyze financial information and reveal the value added opportunities within a market, a company or a product. He is also a sharp operations officer, working within a team to formulate improved processes, better utilize technology, and recruit new talent, setting a predictable foundation for success.
I love working with Greg because as annoyingly accurate his insight and analysis is, he brings a sense of humor and delight to meet the challenge and find a solution. He loves the pursuit as much as I do – and he is better at it.
