He started his career at Arthur Andersen LLP where he was an audit manager in the firm’s real estate and hospitality services group in its New York office, focusing on public and private real estate clients.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in public accounting from Hofstra University and is a certified public accountant.

Starwood REIT focuses on acquiring a portfolio of real estate in the United States and Europe, including multifamily, office, hotel, and industrial assets, as well as other property types.
