Founder led, for Founders

As an operator myself, I grew Campus Apartments from a small-town business into a national student housing company with more than $2 billion in assets. I also co-founded Future Standard (formerly FS Investments), an alternative asset manager focused on delivering attractive returns across private equity, private credit, and real estate, managing more than $90 billion for institutional and wealth management clients worldwide.

I'm passionate about helping founders scale their businesses and navigate challenges I've faced throughout my own career. I frequently advise our portfolio 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.
