I'm managing a boutique fund for MFH/Commercial Investments in a specific market.

We're also anticipating more Silverlake creep of shops and boutique restaurants to up the vibe.

My future aspirations are to co-own or partner with a small boutique company that provides all these aspects of design and building new construction.My educational background is in Business Management and I do have a small portfolio of a few projects that I've developed in the past.

In my previous life I was the Real Estate Development Officer for a Boutique Assisted Living Start Up company for residents with ALZ in Texas.
