Bio
A graduate of Arizona State University, Rod earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business while majoring in Real Estate. While attending ASU, Rod worked in the Research Department of Scott Jackson Brokerage. He directed industrial land and building research for 38 sales associates. During his senior year, he interned with The Ellis Corporation, a real estate development consulting firm. While at Ellis, Rod performed financial analysis and completed marketing feasibility studies for office, retail and industrial projects. His responsibilities also included assisting project manager coordination and implementation of brokerage efforts. The marketing of the firm’s developments lead to his interest in pursuing brokerage. Rod commenced his brokerage career in industrial property leasing and sales with Cutler Commercial in 1987.
