Co-Founder
Kirk
Kirk is a native West Texas flatlander where he earned his degree at Texas Tech University and later pursued further education at the American University in Dubai. Kirk first became attuned to the power of real estate when helping his widowed mom sort through her future and finances, “Of all the assets my dad left behind, the insurance policy and stocks were helpful, but I quickly realized that the passive income, equity, and tax advantages of their real estate holdings was going to sustain my mom over the long haul”.
Since that time, Kirk has co-sponsored deals consisting of multifamily (5000 doors), self storage (1800 units), and hotel syndications (2 Hiltons, 1 Mariott).
Over the past 30 years, Kirk has raised over $50mm for various NPO’s and has worked in sales strategy and effectiveness, fund development, and organizational culture setting.
Kirk leads out in his community through Boy Scouts of America and by serving at his church. He leads out in his personal life completing several marathons and Spartan Races. His greatest delight is leading out in his family, being an intentional father of three and husband to his wife Sheila for over twenty years.
