Professional Profile

As the executive director of the Alabama Center for Real Estate (ACRE) housed within the Culverhouse College of Business at the University of Alabama, I am blessed with the opportunity to build relationships with like-minded professionals and companies who are passionate about advancing Alabama's real estate industry!

ACRE's core purpose is to advance Alabama's real estate industry by providing relevant resources in research, education and outreach. The Center also acts as an industry liaison to benefit students across the state pursuing a career in real estate. The relationship between the Center and our industry stakeholders is one of our greatest strengths.

I'm honored with the opportunity to currently serve as the 2021 Chairman of the University Outreach Committee of the CCIM Institute and Vice-Chair of the Ethics Committee for the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM). I recently completed my term as the 2019/2020 IREM Regional Vice President (AL/AR/MS/LA). I'm a former longstanding member of IREM's Student and Academic Advisory (and HBCU Student Outreach Task Force). In 2019, I thoroughly enjoyed serving as the President of the Alabama Chapter of the CCIM Institute as was the case in 2012 while serving as President of the Alabama Chapter of IREM. I also recently served as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta's Affordable Housing Council from 2012 to 2018.
