Frequently Asked Questions

What makes you different from other consultants?

I combine institutional expertise with hands-on execution experience. I've worked on both sides—structuring complex deals at large firms and executing projects as a developer. This means I understand both the strategic and practical realities of getting projects done.

Do you work outside of New Jersey?

While my primary focus is New Jersey, I occasionally take on projects in nearby states where my expertise in incentive programs and development strategy can add value. Contact me to discuss your specific situation.

What size projects do you typically work on?

I work with developers across a range of project sizes, from $5M adaptive reuse projects to $50M+ ground-up developments. The key factor is complexity and the need for strategic guidance—not just project size.

Can you help with NJEDA applications?

Yes. I have extensive experience navigating NJEDA programs including ASPIRE, ERG, and LIHTC. I can assess eligibility, optimize your application strategy, and guide you through the process.

How quickly can we get started?

After an initial discovery call, I can typically begin engagements within 1-2 weeks. For time-sensitive projects, I can often accommodate faster timelines.
