What inspired you to get into your industry?
I wanted to make a positive and lasting impression within the urban landscape.
How do you encourage growth and development within your company?
I encourage growth within the company by setting a personal, strong work ethic and entrepreneurial attitude. Our employees have great ideas. My goal is to empower them to take those ideas and see them through to successful completion.
What is the biggest challenge your industry is facing?
Right now we have an economy that none of us want and one that has affected the commercial real estate market considerably. The uncertainty of where the marketplace is heading in the next five years is a considerable challenge. This is a changing, transformative time and companies have to reposition themselves and be flexible.
If you could have had another career, what would it have been?
I’m very fortunate in that I love what I do. If I had to have another career, I would have been a psychologist. Whether working with children, adults, families, married couples, you have the opportunity to meet and help people from all walks of life.
What advice would you give to other executives moving into this market?
I would have to say to look beyond the perception of what they might believe or perceive Las Vegas to be or what they might have been told it is and to take the time to study the local market and meet the people who live and work in the community.
What do you anticipate for the future of business in Nevada?
The next five years will be extremely dynamic as this market diversifies. It’s going to be challenging and we’re nowhere near being out of the woods. I do believe the next five years will shape where Las Vegas will be in 25 years and I’m excited to be part of it.
