Commitment to Clients and Communities

I like the intellectual aspects of structuring deals but that’s not the reason I’m at Applegate. Finding ways to make our clients’ transformative community development projects happen is the fuel that powers me through the complexities and uncertainties of the tax code.  I am very fortunate to have found a practice that is both interesting and impactful.

Career Overview

Current Focus: I helped to establish our new market tax credit (NMTC) practice and am active in historic (HTC), housing (LIHTC) and opportunity zone (QOZ) transactions.

Highlights: I was thrilled to have been selected as a fellow of the Center for Redevelopment Excellence (CUREx) at the University of Pennsylvania and join some of the most effective and innovative young leaders in community development.
