President & CEO
An African American–owned development firm connecting capital, execution, and local opportunity.
The places we build shape how communities live, learn, work, and thrive.
The P3 Group partners with public institutions and private organizations to turn development priorities into lasting community assets. By bringing planning, design, construction, and financing together, we create a clear path from vision to delivery—with long-term value at the center of every project.
We believe investment in a community should create opportunity within it. Our approach makes room for local contractors and subcontractors to contribute their expertise, grow their businesses, and help build the places their neighbors depend on. By connecting national resources with local talent, we strengthen both the projects we deliver and the communities they serve.

Founded in 2013, The P3 Group brings real estate development and consulting together around public-private partnerships.
Our work spans business, community, and urban development. We coordinate architects, engineers, construction teams, attorneys, and capital market specialists so partners can address facility needs through a clear development program.
