MORRISTOWN, N.J. - Paul Teti, vice president of leasing for Normandy Real Estate Partners, one of the largest real estate owners/operators in the Boston to Washington, D.C., corridor, has been named to the U.S. Men's Four Olympic team. This is Teti's third trip to the Olympics, having previously competed as a member of the lightweight men's four.

Teti recently earned a

bronze medal at the 2008 World Cup Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland as part of the national team's Men's Open Weight Four. He is also a seven-time senior national rowing team member, has won 10 national championships and holds three World Cup medals and a Pan American Games gold medal.

'Rowing is the ultimate team sport, it's not about individual achievement but rather getting the most speed out of the boat by working together with your teammates in perfect unison' Teti said. 'It's very much a team effort. One of the reasons I love the sport is because of the clear connection between the training you go through and the results you achieve. I consider myself very lucky to be part of an incredible team in the boat and at Normandy. I would not be in this position if it wasn't for the tremendous support of my teammates at Normandy. My crewmates and I will do our best to make them proud in Beijing'.

Teti joined Normandy four years ago just after competing at the Olympics in Athens, Greece. He currently serves as vice president, responsible for managing leasing activity in the Mid-Atlantic region. He spent three years underwriting and closing acquisitions and financings as part of Normandy's acquisition team prior to taking on his current role. Teti is a graduate of Princeton University where he earned a degree in sociology.
