Financial Modeling I build investor-grade 3-statement models from scratch for your business. I've supported raises from seed through Series B, including a unicorn and multiple $100M+ ARR companies, along with lender models, board models, scenario and sensitivity analysis, valuation, and 409A work. I've built models for 1,000+ companies across virtually every industry, with particular expertise in lending, SaaS, ecommerce, logistics, and energy, AI has changed financial modeling in two important ways. It has made it effortless to spin up amateur models, and it has made high-quality models even more valuable by expanding what they can do. A model built from the ground up to be operated by AI agents is the best of both worlds: institutional-grade structure, optimized for scale, user-friendliness, and auditability, with an architecture that lets tools like Claude and ChatGPT in Excel update data, run scenarios, and make changes reliably. My models are built to leverage AI agents and serve as a "financial operating system" for your business that is easily actualized with current data and adapted as your needs evolve.

Previously Senior Valuations Consultant at a top commercial real estate valuations firm; I have expert-level experience with Argus Enterprise, Excel, financial modeling and projections, and real estate underwriting and valuations. I also have an intense passion for spreadsheets and automation, and am a Google Sheets expert.

With three decades of real estate experience and $22B+ underwritten across 38K residential units, 1.4K hotel keys and 13.5M commercial SF, I help institutional teams, proptech platforms and growing operators make faster, clearer, more defensible decisions. Typical engagements include acquisition and development underwriting, GP/LP waterfalls, pro forma modeling, assumption validation, IC‑ready packages and fund or portfolio stress testing. I connect strategy → underwriting → modeling → diligence as one system, applying institutional-grade judgment at each step: strategy sets direction, underwriting defines the logic, modeling expresses it, and diligence confirms it. That perspective is built on full‑cycle institutional experience, advanced Excel modeling fluency and early, sustained technology awareness — from GE Six Sigma A&D workflows and policy/process development to CRM workflow design for post‑GFC SFR platforms and proptech collaboration on AI‑assisted homebuilding, underwriting, site planning and diligence systems.
