I currently reside in Isla Verde, Puerto Rico where I live on the most beautiful ocean in existence. I enjoyed my high school years in sight of D.C., in Alexandria, Virginia. I then attended Grand Valley State University and the University of Michigan, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration (BBA). I also received two professional degrees: CCIM and CPM. As a life-long learner, I continued on to earn my M.B.A. and later my doctorate (DBA). The focus of my doctorate is Organizational Psychology and Social Science Research.I served in the Army for two years in Heidelberg, Germany in the Office of Public Affairs. I had a wonderful time as a writer for Army in Europe Magazine and traveled extensively into every country in Europe as a result of my various assignments for the magazine. In my spare time, I couldn't resist forging into business in Germany. I developed and operated three German restaurants in two different cities, managing them while maintaining my Army job (my Army boss was an investor in one of my restaurants so I had plenty of leeway!). One of my restaurants included a popular night club in which I had live music. All of my restaurants had the best cuisine in all of Germany! The two years were an incredible experience I will never forget.My hobbies include: small boat building, making furniture, and other wood working ventures. I also enjoy cooking which led me to write and publish a cook book, Cooking as an Event. My other passion is the Triathlon for which Puerto Rico is ideal! I have three children, the youngest having just graduated from college joins the other two with busy professional careers in different parts of the globe, so I don’t see them as much as I would like.I have been in the business of design, development and syndication of commercial investment real estate since my first year in college, a path which began when I started purchasing small apartment buildings when I was 18. I am currently the President/CEO of a commercial investment real estate design and development company based in Michigan. We have averaged about 100 employees. We deal in acquisitions, design, development, management and packaging of all types of commercial real estate projects, from creating new projects, re-hab of existing (primarily historic), or any other concept that will create a substantial return for the investors.These projects range from office buildings, shopping centers, medical centers, apartment complexes, hotels, to any type of project that fits a particular area and/or economic time. We conceptualize the idea, design the project, form the ownership entity, create the debt and equity structures, build the project, and manage it throughout its life cycle. I especially enjoy the many creative opportunities, beginning with the development of an idea, through the concept and design process, creating the marketing and branding strategies, the architectural stage, and the various financial structures that are all intriguing and challenging.WRITING BIO: Dr. T.
