Profile

Right of Way is a challenging profession that requires a mix of problem solving, relationship building, and attention to

detail. I enjoy the challenges of this field. My diverse background has given me the skills to work well with all parties

involved in the acquisition and relocation of properties, businesses and individuals impacted by an eminent domain project.

I am well suited to manage a group of people as well as communicate with displaced owners and tenants with the mix of

sensitivity and firmness needed to successfully accomplish an acquisition and/or

knowledge of this profession as well as the complexities of the Uniform Relocation Act and state codes.
