Bio
Jim started his career in the mid 70’s as a Certified Public Accountant, working with a broad spectrum of clientele in helping them to optimize their tax and wealth building strategies. In 1975, Jim began working with Malcom Glazer – eventually overseeing nearly all of Malcom’s financial and tax strategies. It was during this time that Jim met George, and in 1985 the two set off on their own when they launched Cavalier Health and began acquiring Nursing Homes in Massachusetts, New York, and Michigan. In 1990, they began working with Ken Burnham when the trio founded KDM Development. In the time since, Jim and George have successfully invested in, managed, operated, and developed widely diverse portfolio of businesses. This list includes thousands of units of Manufactured Housing Communities, millions of square feet of retail and industrial space, dozens of apartments communities, storage complexes, and even a portfolio of lucrative bowling alleys. Jim brings a valuable background across a wide spectrum of asset classes in Commercial Real Estate Finance and Tax Strategy, and has helped lead KDM through multiple economic downturns by applying his business acumen and broad financial knowledge.
