  • Jackie F.
    Darwin is a standout when it comes to being a team player. We worked on the capital markets team at HFF/JLL for more than 5 years. Whenever he was staffed on any of my deals, I knew that the work product that he was going to provide would be of high quality. He always communicated well about his availability and capacity, did a great job in managing expectations and was always reliable. He made accommodations to get deadlines accomplished during weekends even when he had parent obligations at home. What was great was that he was always willing to figure out how the task or project could get done. Overall, he helped problem solve to keep work moving forward. Any employer would be lucky to have him to be part of their team.
