I help Seattle and Eastside landowners, brokers, and investors make confident decisions about infill development, without surprises, retrades, or guesswork.
If you want a clear, builder-led understanding of what a property or opportunity can actually support, you’re in the right place.

Who This Is For:
 → You own land in Seattle or the Eastside and want a clear, honest view of its redevelopment potential
 → You’re a broker who values certainty, clean execution, and protecting client relationships
 → You’re an investor looking for disciplined, construction-backed underwriting

How I Help:
I guide projects from feasibility through delivery using a vertically integrated model designed to reduce risk and misalignment.

We manage everything in-house:
Feasibility → Design → Permitting → Construction → Sales

Fewer handoffs. Fewer delays. Clearer outcomes.

Why That Matters:
Infill projects fail when assumptions break down between zoning, design, and construction.
We focus on aligning those decisions early, so projects pencil realistically and deliver as expected.

A Bit of Context:
I grew up building homes, earned a degree in Construction Management, and spent six years helping deliver large-scale development projects across the region. That experience shapes how we operate today.

What I Believe:
Landowners deserve straight answers.
Brokers deserve certainty and follow-through.
Investors deserve disciplined, full-cycle underwriting.

Good housing comes from clarity and accountability. Not shortcuts.

Let’s Talk:
If you want a clear read on what your property or opportunity can support, feel free to reach out. Happy to help.

In real estate development, most risk doesn’t come from the market.

It comes from handoffs.

When acquisition, design, budgeting, and construction are fragmented, small gaps turn into expensive surprises.

Our approach is intentionally different.

We keep the entire development process under one roof, from site acquisition through construction, so decisions are made with full context and accountability.

That’s how Queen Anne Townhomes reached construction with:
 → fully approved permits
 → a locked GMP
 → equity funded
 → and a closed construction loan

Fewer handoffs + Clear ownership = More predictable outcomes.

We’re now underway and will be sharing progress as the project moves forward.

If you’re interested in how we approach urban infill, or want to stay informed on future opportunities, I’m happy to share more.

This is my first article on LinkedIn.

I’ll be using it occasionally to share straightforward, on-the-ground updates from projects we’re actively building.

This first one is a construction update from Capitol Hill Townhomes - demolition is complete, foundations and sitework are in progress, and the site is starting to take shape in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Full update below.

One of the most rewarding parts of development is when months (and years) of planning turn into visible work on site. Here’s a construction update fro
