Who I work with
I work with real estate developers, investors, owners and managers, as well as Delaware Statutory Trusts (DST).
My specialty

Results I have delivered
I have structured and deferred significant dollars of capital gains into QOZ funds, settled a family dispute with creative utilization of DST interests while avoiding double taxation inside a C corporation, utilized investments into DSTs to mitigate boot on 1031 exchanges and developed and structured various exit strategies, recapitalizations and formations relative to partnership transactions.
Unique things about me
One of my favorite traditions is a “Texas Hold ‘em” poker tournament I host in my yard every year. It’s always a good time and it gives me the chance to see old friends and make new ones.
When I am not at work
I love to sit back and watch the Yankees or the New York Rangers with a nice glass of bourbon. If it isn’t baseball or hockey season, you can usually find me playing speed chess or playing poker.
People say I am
A decisive and technically skilled real estate tax partner.
