![]() I began my career in the cannabis industry after my colleague from Blockbuster presented Retail Resource Group with an opportunity to help a retail cannabis chain in Colorado. ![]() Today, I reside in Austin, TX and commute to Portland, OR for my current role at Nectar. That year, I founded Retail Resource Group and helped several retailers with expansion and consolidation (TGI Friday’s, Blockbuster, Buffalo Wild Wings, Krispy Kreme, Wendy’s, Boston Market, Einstein’s Bagels, 7/11, Jack in the Box, Whataburger and more). In 2008, I saw the dire need to create a full service outsource solution for retailers, helping them solve any development and growth problems as needed. Years later, I decided to implement the experience I learned from Blockbuster and Boston Market in the development industry, where I worked with several national tenants as clients (Starbucks, Walgreens, Kinkos, Petco, 7/11) across the country. Simultaneously, I participated in the acquisition and operation of over thirty Noah’s Bagels and Einstein’s Bagels. At Boston Chicken, I was the Managing Principal of Boston Chicken Golden Gate, the Northern California area franchisee opening 63 restaurants throughout Northern California. After Blockbuster sold to Viacom, I left to be part of a new concept, called Boston Chicken (known as Boston Market today). ![]() During my time at Blockbuster, we grew from 50 to 4,000 stores worldwide. I started my career at Blockbuster Video as a Site Selector in the Central U.S, progressed to serve as the Director of Store Development for the Western United States and lastly as the Director of International Development, opening stores and structuring development plans in 12 different countries. I am a 30-year retail real estate industry veteran.
