[column span="2"]I have had the distinct privilege of knowing and working with Britt Shuford for over fourteen years.

At First Industrial (NYSE: FR) between 1999 and 2008, Britt has advised us on a number of acquisition and divestment projects that exceed a billion dollars in total. He was our “go-to” person in California for both transactional and strategic advice. Our close working relationship is due not only to his results, but to his knowledge of our strategy, and to his integrity he has demonstrated over the years.

Beyond that, Britt has become a friend, not only to me, but to several members of our Executive Team as well as our officers in California.

Britt is among the best people- and professionals- in our industry.
