From 1988 to July 1996, Baker worked in Cushman & Wakefield’s Stamford office as a commercial leasing broker representing tenants and landlords in Fairfield County and Westchester County. He returned to the Stamford office in March 1999 after three successful years working in Cushman & Wakefield’s headquarters in New York City.

Baker has consistently ranked as one of Cushman & Wakefield’s “Top 100” brokers companywide and, in 2000 and 2006, he earned the company’s Service Excellence award, given to the individual in the New York Metropolitan area who has been recognized by his/her clients for the highest level of service and initiative in that year.

Baker received his bachelor's in English from Middlebury College in Vermont.  Additionally, he has taken graduate courses in real estate from New York University. He is past president of the board of directors for Domus, a social services agency in Connecticut that runs charter schools, community centers and residential programs for at-risk children and their families. Baker is currently president of the board of directors of Trailblazers Academy in Stamford,  one of the charter schools run by Domus.
