PRESIDENT & CEO, HOUSING TRUST GROUP, COCONUT GROVE  

Housing Trust Group is an award-winning full-service developer of multifamily residential communities across the Southeast and Southwest U.S. It is also the largest developer of affordable housing in Florida, with a portfolio that includes more than 6,000 affordable apartments across the state.

EDUCATION  

University of Florida (BA), Nova Southeastern University (JD)  

MAJOR INFLUENCE  

Roman emperor and stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius. There's so much wisdom on leadership, family and personal development to be gleaned from his seminal work, Meditations.  

LEARNED TO APPRECIATE  

One thing I've come to appreciate over the years is the impact affordable housing has on the broader community. It helps keep multigenerational families together, which gives people the freedom to start new businesses and sparks entrepreneurial activity, and that in turn helps neighborhood revitalization. It's ripple-turned-wave effect.  

ADMIRES  

Railroad mogul Henry Flagler laid the foundation for everything that Florida is today.
