About Us

My Job in 50 Words or Less: I’m the quirky developer. We live in a constantly evolving world, and my job is to provide housing and build communities that people will love today, and down the road. I also have the opportunity to partner with a number of different non-profits to use our company to try and help the environment and communities we are in.

Some Things I’m Really Good At: Making eggs, and forward planning. In our world everything takes a long time to come to fruition. Entitlement can take 2-3 years, site development 1-2 years, building houses a year to two. My job everyday is to make sure that we are laying the necessary foundation today to ensure that we are still a great company delivering exceptional communities 50 years from now.

My Job in 50 Words or Less: Primarily, I look to find housing markets that are underserved. Locations that have a logical service to homebuyers and their lifestyle. What is less desirable today, can be more desirable tomorrow. Living environments and locations that are untapped or undiscovered; locations where people in different stages of life can identify with  - ultimately and logically call “home”.  

Some Tings I'm Really Good At: One area of my job that I enjoy is peeling back the layers of market place onion. Studying the demographic, economic and social forces that shape a market place; the expansion and contraction. Then secondly, using that knowledge to further our direction,  focus and growth.

Some Things I’m Really Good At:  I bring a high level of energy to every situation I am in, whether it is cheering for my kids’ sports teams or pursuing assets to acquire. I have learned effective communication fixes a lot of problems, so that is a focus. Letting strategy define my actions and words helps us achieve our goals. High character, high energy game changer is how I have been described.

Three Words That Best Describe Me: Passionate, Efficient, Faithful

Favorite Part of My Job: Seeing a project come to life, from having an “idea meeting” to acquiring the property gives a feeling that isn’t realized often. I get to “hunt” without killing anything, and the work that we do is literally people’s lives. We often get to help people realize their dreams – whether it is monetizing a property they own or building a home for a family to create memories in. Making money is great, but making a difference in lives is what I love, and we do that every day.
