13 Years of Operational
Real Estate Leadership

I'm co-founder of Woodford, where I lead real estate and hospitality acquisitions alongside our broader portfolio operations. My work is grounded in 13 years of hands-on commercial property management — not advisory, not analysis from a distance, but direct operational leadership across diverse property types and markets.

Currently serving as Chief Operating Officer for a 1,800-door portfolio, I lead a team of 23 across 26 communities totaling more than 2,000 lots. Maintaining 95%+ occupancy while personally overseeing $1M+ in CAPEX projects — construction, plumbing, electrical — is the kind of work that builds genuine operational fluency.

That background directly informs how I underwrite and operate CRE acquisitions at Woodford. I know what a well-run community looks like from the inside. I know what deferred maintenance actually costs, how to evaluate management quality, and what it takes to turn a distressed or underperforming asset around.

Woodford's hospitality focus — boutique hotels, RV parks, and land-leased communities — sits squarely in my wheelhouse. If you own or broker assets in these categories, I want to have a conversation.
