Owner at MN-Storage
I am a highly motivated and energetic individual that likes to give back any way I can. I had many people help me accomplish many of my goals and now it is my turn to help others reach their dreams. In my current business as a Residential and Commercial Realtor, my goal is to provide both a superior customer experience and expert advice when it comes to buying, selling and investing in real estate.I earned a degree in Kinesiology with a minor in leadership from Kansas State University. While at Kansas State I had the honor to walk on to the football team, earn a scholarship and built many great relationships with former teammates and coaches. After graduation I was hired as the Assistant Recruiting Coordinator for the Kansas States University Football Team. In this role I had the opportunity to recruit and reward many kids with their dreams in way of a scholarship. Education is extremely important to me so I decided to go back and get a masters degree in College Student Development while in this role.
Founder at Runway
I built a website where you can hire vetted college students that go to great schools for ad-hoc contract work. The students on our website are best at business development, software development, and engineering. We've worked with nearly 100 different companies and have 5,000 students on our site (mostly in Atlanta and Boston). The vision is to build a site like Upwork/Fiverr but only for smart and hungry college students. We're totally bootstrapped and have only used the cash flows of the business to build it up ($300k AR in 2024). Outside of the company I'm a big proponent of Georgia Tech which had a big part of making me who I am. I love to travel (45 countries) and scale mountains. For the past year and a half I've been living the true digital nomad life - I have lived in 3 different cities (Boston, Chicago, NY) and backpacked all around the globe.

The student housing market is evolving rapidly, with key trends including the rise of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), increasing demand for amenity-rich environments, and a growing focus on sustainability and wellness. There's also a shift towards more flexible leasing options and the integration of smart technology in student living spaces. These trends reflect changing student expectations and the sector's response to evolving educational landscapes and lifestyle preferences.
Technology is revolutionizing student housing in numerous ways. Smart building systems are enhancing energy efficiency and security. Mobile apps are streamlining processes like maintenance requests and rent payments. High-speed internet and tech-enabled study spaces are becoming standard. Some properties are even incorporating VR tours for remote viewing. On the management side, data analytics are being used to optimize occupancy rates and improve student satisfaction, making technology a crucial factor in modern student housing operations.
Universities face several challenges in providing student housing. These include limited on-campus space for new developments, balancing affordability with quality accommodations, and meeting diverse student needs (e.g., accessibility, cultural preferences). Additionally, universities must navigate local zoning laws, community relations, and the need to update aging infrastructure. The rise of online learning has also complicated housing demand forecasts, requiring institutions to be more flexible and strategic in their housing plans.
Student housing significantly impacts local communities and economies. It can stimulate local businesses, particularly in retail and services sectors. However, it may also lead to 'studentification' of neighborhoods, potentially changing community dynamics. Economically, student housing developments can create jobs and increase property values, but they might also affect housing affordability for long-term residents. Balancing these impacts requires careful urban planning and cooperation between universities, housing providers, and local authorities.
