Founder led, for Founders

As an operator myself, I expanded Campus Apartments from a small-town business to a national student housing organization with over $2B in assets. I also cofounded FS Investments, an alternative asset manager dedicated to delivering attractive returns across private equity, private credit, and real estate that manages over $75 billion for both institutional and wealth management clients around the world.

Excited to help founders scale their businesses and navigate problems that I've run into in the past. I often advise our companies as they build their go-to market, raise financing, hire teams, and prepare for sales.

We love investing in our community in Philadelphia as well as all over the world.

Strengthening our communities is vital to how we drive more impact through our investment strategy and partnerships. I know that building start-ups requires leaders to take part in their communities. Understanding how to do that is in my DNA.
