WHO HIRED YOU INTO THIS BUSINESS, AND WHAT’S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM TODAY? I WHO HIRED YOU INTO THIS BUSINESS, AND WHAT’S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM TODAY? My
stumbled into this industry while looking for an apartment – over time,
the leasing consultant that toured me became one of my best friends
and we’re still friends after all these years WHAT CAN DEVELOPERS DO
DIFFERENTLY WHEN DESIGNING A PROPERTY? Consider the move-in/move-out
logistics – if not done right, it will haunt you forever IF YOU COULD LIVE IN
ANY SITCOM, WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE? Frasier BINGE-WATCHED EMBARRASSINGLY FAST: I
don’t take the time to binge watch much….but Schitt’s Creek was pretty
addicting FIRST GUEST ON YOUR TALK SHOW: Elon Musk MOVIE TITLE DESCRIBES
YOUR WORK LIFE: A Series of Unfortunate Events HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE PEOPLE?
Food THREE FAVORITE APPS: My Calendar, Google Keep, Podcasts BIGGEST
PET PEEVE? When people say they “could care less” – its “couldn’t care
less” CAREER HIGHLIGHT: The relationships & wonderful people I have the
privilege of working with ONE ITEM ON YOUR BUCKET LIST: Visiting Spain cousin got me started into the business when he referred me to a temp
agency where I was hired on as a groundskeeper. I had just come back
from a deployment in Djibouti, Africa while serving in the USMC and
thought I would work in the industry for a few months while I went to
night school; but here I am,13 years later in the same field and couldn’t
be happier! YOUR “GO TO” INTERVIEW QUESTION? I ask candidates to bring their
tool bag to the appointment. My reasoning behind this is because you
can evaluate how organized they are, if they have the necessary hand
tools to perform required tasks and whether they’ve invested in quality
tools which can be a reflection of how dedicated they are to their craft.
BEST OR WORST DECISION YOU MADE IN LAST 6 MONTHS: I've lived in Colorado for
almost a year now; my worst decision was relocating from Texas
without a four-wheel drive vehicle. The best decision I made recently
was to purchase a four-wheel drive with snow tires. WHAT CAN DEVELOPERS DO
DIFFERENTLY WHEN DESIGNING A PROPERTY? I think using quality materials during
construction will help preserve the asset much longer than going with a
lower cost product. You get what you pay for and I like the phrase, "pay
me now or pay me later" because it's so true in this regard. AN AMENITY YOU
WISH YOU COULD INVENT? I think a pet sitter service or having a wide array of
rental options from the front office would be a great idea. Anything
from carpet cleaners to boardgames or bicycle repair tools could be
checked out by the residents. This amenity would provide a sense of
community, family fun, and help maintain the asset. IF YOU COULD LIVE IN
ANY SITCOM, WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE? I would like to be in the series Alone to test
my survival skills. I love being in the wilderness any chance I get and
winning $500k for it would just be icing on the cake! BINGE-WATCHED
EMBARRASSINGLY FAST: Breaking Bad. FIRST GUEST ON YOUR TALK SHOW: I would
choose a motivational speaker like Tony Robins, Les Leith, or Eric
Thomas because of the publicity it would bring to the talk show and
their ability to inspire an audience. MOVIE TITLE BEST DESCRIBES YOUR WORK LIFE:
Cast Away because I’m constantly traveling across the country away
from home in Castle Rock. HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE PEOPLE? Other than
showing sincere appreciation I believe a good way to motivate teams is
to invest in their education. Offering to pay for a class or credential will
not only benefit the individual by expanding their knowledge but the
organization gets a return on investment by having a more well-
rounded staff which also helps tremendously with employee and
resident retention. THREE FAVORITE APPS: Microsoft Outlook, Visa App, and
Facebook. BIGGEST PET PEEVE? People who fail to keep commitments. It's
better to over deliver and under promise, than the other way around.
CAREER HIGHLIGHT : My proudest moment was being awarded a CAMT of
the Year Excellence Award from NAA and being involved with the
CAMT examination rewrite during the conference. ONE ITEM ON YOUR BUCKET
LIST: Visit all 50 states before I’m forty. I’m at 37 states visited now and
have quite a few to go to reach my goal.
