Aaron Johnson, Project Manager at The Bozzuto Group, is using his Mason MS in Real Estate Development to take the final steps in his progression from U.S. Marine to local real estate developer

Aaron Meet Mason MS in Real Estate Student Aaron Johnson

More than 12 years ago, when Aaron Johnson started his career in project management at Clark Construction, he was surprised at how much his experience as an artillery forward observer for the U.S. Marine Corps translated to his new field position.

 
“The skills gained from my military experience translated very well into my career in construction. Much like the military, construction fieldwork requires the ability to have discipline, to motivate others, to set and achieve goals, and to work through issues when the going gets tough.”

 

Aaron decided to pursue a master’s degree in real estate development with the very specific objective of learning how to evaluate, structure and execute successful real estate development projects. In his first semester in the Mason MRED program, he is finding, once again, that his inherent traits and his professional experience  translate directly into a new endeavor.

 
“I’m looking to gain a detailed understanding of the entire process–from initial financing through asset management,” he says. “I want the knowledge and confidence to pursue opportunities that I have hesitated to take on in the past.”

 
Aaron also recognizes the importance of getting to know the people involved in the process.

 
“At events like the monthly Role Model Friday speaker series, the Mason MRED program has already provided all kinds of opportunities to network with other industry professionals and program alumni. I’m not only expanding my knowledge base, but gaining the opportunity to create new working relationships and lasting personal friendships.”
