A recent deal, project, or accomplishment you’re proud of
I just represented the Buyer in a ~256,000 Industrial Investment Sale in Waunakee, WI.
How has your career evolved since completing NextGen?
Since completing NextGen my career has grown exponentially. I am now a Partner of my firm and my transaction volume has grown two-fold.
The most valuable part of your NextGen experience?
The most valuable part of NextGen for me was gaining such quality connections all over the state. Being based out of Madison and joining a group of young professionals located in Milwaukee and elsewhere has been helpful for all of us when it comes to doing more deals in and around Dane County.
What advice would you like to share with the next wave of NextGen participants?
My advice would be to always take the meeting and keep an open mind. You never know what a connection could do for you!
