Bio
As a Senior Vice President in the Minneapolis office, Kevin serves as a strategic partner to his clients, working with them to understand their business needs, goals and objectives. He advises on real estate planning and transaction management to provide clients with optimal solutions aligned with their business goals. Kevin understands that developing and implementing a real estate strategy is an ongoing process, and he ensures this process goes smoothly for clients thanks to his deep understanding of market trends, tenant needs and negotiation strategies. Kevin is passionate about building long-term relationships with companies, both large and small. Whether assisting with strategizing or lease negotiations, Kevin's professionalism and experience quell client concerns and offer peace of mind. Kevin started his career in corporate sales, gaining valued insight into the needs of companies across several industries over the course of 12 years. His remarkably swift transition to corporate commercial real estate in 2018 led to a reputation for understanding clients’ needs as a tenant advisor broker, and in 2022 he earned a spot-on Minneapolis–St. Paul Business Journal’s 40 under 40 list. Kevin has built partnerships with small businesses and established Fortune 500 companies alike, and his experience has given him insight into the broader impact real estate decisions have on the overall success of his clientele. Some of Kevin’s clients include Baird, United Health Group, McKesson, Principal Financial, Bank of America, SunOpta, Currie & Brown, Avangrid Renewables, Foodsby, Avenica, Pine Environmental, cxLoyalty Corporation, 3M, Earlens, Bank of America, Leidos and Corelle Brands.
