Real Estate Private Equity in Upper Rockies

I’m a Co-Founder and Partner at Freehouse Capital Partners, where we specialize in acquiring and developing high-performance commercial real estate within the Upper Rockies. Our focus is on creating institutional-grade portfolios in hard-to-access, high-growth markets.

Over the last several years, I’ve built deep expertise in commercial real estate, with a focus on acquisitions and development spanning urban infill multifamily projects to highly specialized industrial assets. By leveraging tax-advantaged programs and uncovering niche opportunities, I consistently deliver superior ROI in competitive markets.

Before Freehouse, I led portfolio operations at VTF Capital, a $50M+ venture capital fund dedicated to shaping the future of retail. The portfolio has multiple $1B+ companies. I also co-founded two startups: SHIFT, a venture-backed transportation company, and Work In Progress, the first coworking space in downtown Las Vegas.

My career began at Zappos.com, where I spearheaded the LEED Gold-certified development of their iconic headquarters in downtown Las Vegas. This project garnered widespread acclaim, earning recognition as one of the best-designed office spaces in the country.

When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring the world with my wife, kids, and friends. I’m always excited to connect and exchange ideas—let’s talk!
