Email Connie Knotts
Connie Knotts began with the company buried within the mounds of paperwork in the accounting department. Out of the blue she was approached by the company’s owner, Anthony Asher, and asked if she would like to become a property manager. This unlikely question was posed in 1998, and Mrs. Knotts has not looked back. She now manages 75 tenants , 31 projects and close to 3 million square feet of mostly industrial space in Cleveland, New Jersey and California.

Weston would like to introduce Frank Lanterman, our new Property Manager that began his career with Weston in November. Most recently Frank was employed with RMS Investment, a subsidiary of Forest City Enterprises. Frank was the General Manager for the Parmatown Mall and Strip Center, Golden Gate Shopping Center, Van Aken Shopping Center, and Shoregate Towne Center. Frank has a solid understanding of the issues that our customers face, and the issues that he should address at our buildings. With his many years of property management experience we are looking forward to having him on Team Weston, and maybe he can teach all of us a few things too.
