WHO HIRED YOU INTO THIS BUSINESS, AND WHAT’S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM TODAY? I was hired by a community manager named Sandy in Columbus, Ohio as a 20 year old college student. My real break came after college when I was hired by Melissa Cox to be an operations troubleshooter at Lane Company in Atlanta. I stayed with Lane for 8 years and am fortunate to still consider her and a number of other people I worked alongside at that company close friends. YOUR “GO TO” INTERVIEW QUESTION? Give me a specific example of someone at risk of losing their role in your company and what you did to save them. BEST OR WORST DECISION YOU MADE IN LAST 6 MONTHS: Best – hiring the professionals we’ve added to our team over the last 6 months. Worst – underestimating the challenges and potential impact of what seemed to be a straightforward enhancement to our existing technology platform. WHAT CAN DEVELOPERS DO DIFFERENTLY WHEN DESIGNING A PROPERTY? Spend the money and make the effort to develop communities that architecturally compliment rather than detract from the surrounding neighborhood. There are so many communities under construction today that look alike or are simply missing that connection to the neighborhood. AN AMENITY YOU WISH YOU COULD INVENT? Something that gets used consistently, has long-term staying power and facilitates relationships between residents. IF YOU COULD LIVE IN ANY SITCOM, WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE?

Today, It’s A Wonderful Life. HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE PEOPLE? Noticing and recognizing team members for small wins in addition to large. It isn’t always overcoming a milestone, but all of the accomplishments along the way. FAVORITE TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITY? While not planned this way, in early 2019 we had a team operations retreat at The Broadmoor. What made it the best could have easily made it the worst. We arrived at The Broadmoor as the bomb cyclone hit. We were stuck at the hotel for 2 nights and could barely even traverse from one part of the hotel to another. As a result, we had an incredible bonding experience and accomplished far more than I expected. THREE FAVORITE APPS: iMessage, Waze, LinkedIn BIGGEST PET PEEVE? Negativity. CAREER HIGHLIGHT: There are two things in particular. That I started on-site and have worked in virtually every role between a part- time leasing professional and my current position. The ability to understand from an on-site perspective is invaluable. I am fortunate to have learned from the best people in the business, but I also held myself accountable for expanding my own knowledge. I am lucky to have been in positions to help people find their path in an industry with so many long-term opportunities. One of my passions is to help recruit new talent and help them along the path. I am proud to be able to do that at RedPeak. ONE ITEM ON YOUR BUCKET LIST: Travel is always on my list and is a passion. One item near the top of my list is to see the Aurora Borealis.
