Josh is responsible for sourcing acquisition and advisory opportunities, dealmaking, and managing Frontline’s team of real estate brokers. Josh is involved in the sourcing, execution and structuring of Frontline’s acquisitions.
Prior to co-founding Frontline, Josh spent over eight years with Hilco Real Estate as a Principal and Senior Vice President and five years with Mid-America Real Estate. During his tenure at Hilco, his primary responsibilities included spearheading Hilco’s principal acquisition and fee for service disposition disciplines. In these two roles, Josh managed a team of eight dealmakers and analysts. He has spent the better part of his career participating as a principal as well as a real estate advisor and consultant in some of the United States largest and most high profile bankruptcy cases. While at Mid-America Real Estate Corporation, Josh specialized in the disposition and acquisition of retail properties throughout the Midwest.
Josh has consummated real estate transactions, both as a principal and an advisor, in over 40 states within the United States.
