SPEAKING & MEDIA
I speak about the parts of development that become expensive when they are handled late.
My talks cover feasibility, financing, construction risk, and the assumptions that can turn a promising project into a bad deal.
I am available for conferences, panels, workshops, podcasts, and media interviews.

Design and construction call for different answers.
The first clip is about design and identity. A landmark project may justify a bold approach.
The Bisnow clip is about construction at scale. Repeating proven details and systems can reduce time and cost.
