“Phoenix is a hot spot for business expansion, and that keeps experts like Dave in high demand,” said Pat Williams, JLL Managing Director and head of its Phoenix Tenant Representation group. “Dave understands that a company’s physical space is critical to their success. He listens to their needs, then works with his team to turn that vision into executable design and construction. These are great skills that we are excited to bring to our Phoenix clients.”

He then spent ten years at the Phoenix office of CBRE, specializing in the occupier and tenant rep business.
