Favorite TRC Project: The Wiltern Theatre/Pellissier Building and The Alhambra. The Wiltern Theatre/Pellissier Building have become icons in the City of Los Angeles, and brought life to an area of Los Angeles badly in need of revitalization after the Los Angeles riots. The Alhambra is a testament to the positive effect real estate development can have on a City and its people, as a once abandoned, brown field site now thrives with office, retail, and soon-to-come residential components to demonstrate the benefits of mixed-use, urban redevelopment.

Favorite City: Tel-Aviv and Los Angeles’ Cheviot Hills neighborhood

Favorite Cause: The Jewish Federation. The Jewish Federation supports Jewish people in need, in 55 countries throughout the world, including caring for elderly Holocaust survivors.
