Mr. Aylward received his undergraduate degree in accounting from Kansas University and his law degree from Georgetown University Law School.  While at Georgetown Mr. Aylward was selected to be, and served as, the tax law clerk at the Washington, D.C. office of Baker & McKenzie.  Mr. Aylward then associated with the Chicago law firm of Kirkland & Ellis where he became a tax partner.  He was also a partner with the San Diego law firm Gray, Cary, Ames & Frye (now DLA Piper) and was the head of that firm’s tax department.  Mr. Aylward was a partner in the San Diego law firm of Aylward, Kintz, Stiska, Wassenaar & Shannahan.  As a Certified Tax Specialist, Mr. Aylward’s practice was then focused primarily on the tax aspects of business and real estate transactions.  

From June 1984 through June, 1988, Mr. Aylward was a principal in several land acquisition and development projects.  He supervised land acquisition, land use/regulatory processes, pre‑construction development, and other legal aspects of these projects, all located in San Diego County, California.  Mr. Aylward has been a speaker at many legal seminars and programs, and was an adjunct professor of law at the University of San Diego School of Law for ten years where he taught a graduate level course in Securitized Real Estate.

In 1987, Mr. Aylward founded Strategic Property Advisers, Inc. (“SPA”), an independent, registered investment advisory firm that provides real estate and financial asset management services and investment advisory services to institutional clients.  Through its offices in San Diego and Washington, D.C., SPA presently serves as investment adviser/consultant and as qualified professional asset manager (“QPAM”) to various institutional clients (including 19 Taft-Hartley and Union related plans) with aggregate assets under management of approximately $2.5 billion.  Mr. Aylward, the President of SPA, is a licensed California real estate broker.  In 1995 he successfully completed the National Association of Security Dealers General Securities Exam.

During Mr. Aylward’s more than 20 year career as a real estate investment manager, SPA’s clients have found his extensive legal background in complex real estate matters and tax law a value added component.  Mr. Aylward communicates effectively with clients’ legal counsel to expeditiously resolve various legal matters involving the assets under management.
