Prior to joining Transworld, I enjoyed a 14-year career in banking, commercial real estate, and SBA lending. I've worked with businesses both big and small, gaining an understanding of their unique challenges and needs. This experience has been invaluable in helping my buyers and sellers get the best possible terms for their deal!
