OBJECTIVE

With over 4 decades of experience, I

am ready for the next chapter of my

career in real estate.

EXPERIENCE

LAND DEVELOPER / SUNCOUNTRY PARTNERS 1993-present

I retired partially to raise my two daughters after the recession in 1991. I continued to consult on projects with a few new builders while developing and selling a 44 lot tentative map sale in Gilroy with entitlements.

From 1999-2006, I set up a six-member partner land development group, each partner pursuing the purchase, entitlement, and sale of various properties all over the San Francisco Bay Area, while sharing offices and information and collaborating together. From 2006 on, after the group dissolved, I developed a 63 lot entitlement in Petaluma, an 850-acre community in Merced next to the new University of California (commercial, apartments, student housing – about 4500 residential units, including provisions for affordable and below-market housing). With the national “Great Recession” of 2008 behind us, I resumed a consulting business in 2014.

Starting in 2015 through 2019, I went into the rehabilitation and sale of older residences (“fix and flip”) with a partner and averaged 6-7 houses a year in older but value added neighborhoods in Oakland, Castro Valley, Berkeley, Richmond, for example.

With that in mind, I would like to take my skills and look for a new challenge. REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER /VALWEST DEVELOPMENT 1971-1993 I started my own land development and construction business in 1976. From 1975-1980, I developed both commercial and residential projects, including apartments in Santa Clara (200 units), an office building in Los Altos, eight fourplexes in San Jose, strip malls in Mountain View and Campbell, and 6 large subdivisions that included 823 units (townhomes, condominiums, and single family homes, at-market and below- market rate projects). In the later eighties, my business leaned more heavily in land development. I had two large projects of several hundred units in Pleasanton and a third one in Campbell, as well as a build out of 115 homes in Mountain View. During this period, I managed an employee group of eight people as well as collaboration with dozens of consultants, local politicians, and homeowner's associations. There was a collaboration on-going with city, county, and federal groups, each with their own agendas that all needed to be accommodated in order to develop and build-out projects.

HOME BUILDER / SINGER HOUSING COMPANY 1960-1970

I was employed as a lead person to handle entitlements and forward financial commitments from the various cities and counties in the East and South Bay Areas. The job entailed collaboration with others (land planning design, development, entitlements, construction expertise, etc.). Goals were set as a team to move 1400 units per year through the Singer Company pipeline in six different cities and counties. The product was FHA-VA starter homes.
