In this episode of The Land Development Podcast, host Ryan Glick has Mark Borgiasz, Land Development Manager at Neal Properties, on the show. Mark shares his unique career switch from a high school teacher and tennis coach to a key player in land development with Neal Communities in Southwest Florida.
Mark opens up about the early days of his career, where the job market led him back to his alma mater to teach history and coach tennis. His story takes a turn when he moves to Florida for new challenges, eventually leading him into the home building industry. Starting in customer service, Mark’s journey reflects a desire for growth and making a difference in the community.
As Mark transitions into land development, he discusses the allure of new challenges and the satisfaction from contributing to community development. He emphasizes learning from every project, the unpredictability of the job, and how his unique background has been an asset in navigating the complexities of land development.
The conversation also covers the realities of the Florida development market, the importance of networking, and how past experiences inform Mark’s approach to his work. Mark’s story underscores the idea that personal growth and professional success can come from the most unexpected places.
