SHAPING PLACES



AND BRANDS



PEOPLE LOVE



INTRODUCTION

Hi, I’m Chip,

I love bringing bold ideas to life, whether transforming underutilized properties into distinctive destinations, helping businesses grow through sharper positioning and revenue strategy, or launching mission-driven initiatives that create meaningful opportunities for others.

My background spans real estate development, asset management, business strategy, and operations. I bring a strategic, hands-on approach to each project, combining financial discipline, creative insight, and practical execution.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to manage more than $850 million in assets and help generate over $150 million in added value. The common thread in my work has been bringing people, ideas, and disciplines together to drive stronger performance and create value that extends beyond the bottom line.

I’m most energized by work at the intersection of strategy and creativity, where I can help uncover untapped potential, shape a clear vision, and collaborate with others to make it real.

If you’re working on something with untapped potential, I’d love to hear about it.
