February 1983 – August 1996
I began my career with The Macerich Company in February 1983 as the third participant in its Management Training Program at Winter Park Mall in Winter Park, Florida. On my first day, I met Mace Siegel, who told me, “Some boys have the Army to see the country; you have Macerich.” That promise held true—working with Mace, Dana, Art, and Ed in the early days transformed my life and took me across the U.S., delivering impactful results at Macerich’s expense and to their benefit.
