WHO HIRED YOU INTO THIS BUSINESS, AND WHAT’S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM TODAY?
David Sherman was the fi rst to give me an opportunity in multi-family
property management. I still talk to David about once a year as well as
keeping in touch via LinkedIn and Facebook. YOUR “GO TO” INTERVIEW
QUESTION? I present a scenario where the employee is alone in a leasing
offi ce when multiple events happen at once – I then ask the interviewee
to list the events by order of importance. I believe that being able to
‘control the chaos’ is a big part of on-site responsibilities and this is one
question that I use to gauge the applicants problem solving capabilities.
BEST OR WORST DECISION YOU MADE IN LAST 6 MONTHS: The best decision I have
made in the last six months or six years is the same… personnel. The
people who you hire will defi ne your success. The worst decision I
made was taking I-25 from DTC to Westminster at 9am. Never. Again.
WHAT CAN DEVELOPERS DO DIFFERENTLY WHEN DESIGNING A PROPERTY? Take into account
the preventive maintenance that will be needed 10, 20, 30 years from
construction. AN AMENITY YOU WISH YOU COULD INVENT? Sound-deafening
wallpaper IF YOU COULD LIVE IN ANY SITCOM, WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE? It’s Always Sunny
in Philadelphia BINGE-WATCHED EMBARRASSINGLY FAST: PJ Masks, Paw Patrol and
Super Wings (yes, I have kids) FIRST GUEST ON YOUR TALK SHOW: Ken Burns.
MOVIE TITLE BEST DESCRIBES YOUR WORK LIFE: There Will Be Blood HOW DO YOU
MOTIVATE PEOPLE? Recognition Amongst Peers and Training/Certifi cates
are two ways to motivate employees. Finding and tapping into personal
motivators is not possible for every position and person, but if found, is
the best form of motivation. FAVORITE TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITY? Impromptu
breakfast burritos THREE FAVORITE APPS: Twitter, Apple Reminders & ESPN
CAREER HIGHLIGHT: Watching the growth of the people that work with me,
both as professionals and as individuals. ONE ITEM ON YOUR BUCKET LIST: Learn
to fl y a plane
