The REMS staff of nearly 60 property management and maintenance professionals manages over 23 million square feet of space statewide.

 

I have been fortunate to assemble a great team of project management professionals within LCK and together we leverage collective backgrounds in engineering, facilities management, construction and financial modeling to offer a comprehensive service.

 

My primary focus within both Colliers and LCK is business development, consulting, advisory services and strategic planning.
