Raised in the northern suburbs of Detroit, Stephen often visited Chicago on business and for vacation. He fell in love with the liveliness of the city and knew right away he would eventually call Chicago home. After spending the majority of his formal education out east, Stephen's finance degree from Syracuse University brought him to Jones Lang LaSalle, a Chicago-based real estate property management firm. Stephen agreed to leave Jones Lang LaSalle to lead the Business Development team for Urban Real Estate. In addition to working with developers to build scalabale and viable marketing solutions, Stephen works with clients in Chicago's Northside Neighborhoods.
