Class of 2012

Flavor of Kansas City Task Force

What does your company do, and what is your role there? I am a commercial real estate broker at Colliers International, the third largest commercial real estate brokerage firm in the world. I negotiate commercial real estate transactions on behalf of businesses and real estate investors.

Other organizations you volunteer or serve with: Harvesters.

First job ever: Busboy at Panzon’s Mexican restaurant.

If you had to do without one of your five senses, which would it be? Smell.

Have you ever milked a cow? I haven’t, but not for lack of encouragement at the Agribusiness Task Force.

Do you use Twitter? Only once—which was apparently enough.

What’s a restaurant or dish you’ve always wanted to try? The American Restaurant.

What’s the best thing since sliced bread? Siri. Though it doesn’t yet work like it should, it will be a game changer for business.

What was your favorite activity (organized or otherwise) as a child? Soccer… and blowing things up with leftover firecrackers.

What is the easiest way you’ve found to “go green”? Ripple Glass.

What was the first long trip you ever took? I vaguely remember driving to Mississippi. Not exactly a 12-hour car ride kind of destination.

Do you have a hidden talent? If I told you it wouldn’t be a ‘hidden talent,’ now would it?
