believe it or not - some people even using closets as
office space - the company had expanded way
beyond the maximum capacity of their headquarters.

200,000 SF headquarters in 6 to 7 months for the

Business
Philosophy:
Take care of your clients and teammates, and the
business will always be there.
When and how did you become involved in
commercial real estate?
6 Years ago, I was working part time in a cigar shop
and complaining about my then current job, and a
great industrial broker from Grubb (Steve Bonge) was

Bringing Hope
to Brazil
|
 |
|
by Dan King AIA Project
Manager
Recently I had the opportunity to go on my fourth trip with Engineering
Ministries International (or EMI), this time to Recife, Brazil.
EMI is a non-profit organization out of Colorado Springs, Colorado,
that puts together teams of volunteer Architects and Engineers
to go to third world countries to offer design services for local
communities and ministries.
Our 'client' this time was a man named Lecio
Wanderly, who ran an orphanage in the city of Recife
called Kid's Place. It had been his longtime dream to
develop a piece of property where he could establish
a more open home-like environment for orphans, and
create a boys and girls camp like we have here in the
States.
His dream was about to be fulfilled.
