Summary
As the Managing Director of Investment Banking at QG Holdings LLC, I offer financial and technical advice on deal structures to syndicators, developers, and investors engaged in NMTC, HTC, and LIHTC programs at both state and federal levels. With over 25 years in the tax credit sector, I've closed complex structured finance tax credit deals and garnered over $100 million in private equity for state credits. Prior to QG Holdings LLC, I served as Manager and CFO of the Urban Development Fund, a leading CDE in the U.S., for nearly two decades. I managed UDF's daily operations, which secured over $450 million in federal NMTC allocation, more than $180 million in state NMTC, and upwards of $200 million in HTC. I've finalized over 80 NMTC transactions and successfully funded several HTC projects, including the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans and the Last Hotel STL in St. Louis. Additionally, I'm an active real estate developer and owner of multiple luxury hotels and properties. My goal is to generate positive social and economic outcomes through tax credit financing and property development.
