Build
Started ResidentAssistant.com, became Campus Advantage’s first employee, and built its resident experience and People & Culture programs. At Centricity we built the legal framework and operating model from scratch.

Before that, 20+ years at Campus Advantage in residential real estate, building experiences, processes, teams and culture, and ending as Chief People Officer.

Transform

When Centricity was wound down, we supported every client’s move to new providers and delivered final financials on the last day. Every client was successfully transitioned.
What drives me
I’m a first-generation college student, and the RA job paid my room and board. I saw lives changing in that role, and that is what drives me. When I’m not working, I’m often rowing at sunrise, spending time with my family, building something out of cedar, or volunteering.
The person behind the résumé →What’s next
I am a visionary. I see what an organization can become, set the direction and develop the people who make it real. My point of view: the employee experience shapes the customer experience. Which seat depends on the company.

Meet Jerry, my agent.
Like the one in the movie, he has exactly one client, and he knows my career, my philosophy and the stories I tell. Chat with Jerry first, then have the real conversation with me.
How I built this
I’ve always been a builder. This site and Jerry started as a weekend on my iPhone, and the cedar pergola in my backyard went up with power tools. AI is another power tool: used with judgment, it removes friction and leaves room for the work people do best.
