PJ stayed with this REIT for a decade, even as it went public on the New York Stock Exchange as Trustreet Properties in 2005 and was later purchased by GE Capital Franchise Finance in 2007. In his role, PJ worked closely with the acquisitions team underwriting transactions as well as lease negotiations to drive value for the disposition's platform.
