Hey, thank you for considering taking one of my courses. I am a real estate and business consultant based out of Los Angeles CA. I am the co-author of "Airbnb for Dummies", to be released May 2020. I currently help private real estate investors with their acquisitions and deal structuring and advise startup entrepreneurs on their business models and financial forecasts. Previously, I was head of marketing analytics at the Panda Restaurant Group after serving as a senior financial analyst supporting new store underwriting efforts. Before that, I was a global M&A manager for Ingram Micro, a Fortune 80 company. Prior to that, I worked on commercial real estate acquisitions at a private equity real estate fund, covering a wide range of asset classes across the western USA. I am also a cofounder of LearnBNB, a boutique consultancy and education blog specializing in the home-sharing economy. I received dual degrees in Computer Engineering (Magna Cum Laude) and Economics (Summa Cum Laude) from UC Irvine and an MBA from Stanford University.
