Ted has nearly 25 years experience in single family residential housing. In the 5 years prior to starting Homestead Affordable, he executed 3,500 purchase and sale transactions as the COO of Fortune Acquisitions, a multi-market institutional acquisitions platform. Before that he built an 1,100-property workforce housing portfolio and acquisitions platform from the ground up in 2 years at True Lane Homes, the SFR arm of a Southern California based Single Family Office. Ted leveraged his extensive industry network in the building of each of these platforms.

Ted has been a pioneer in the origination and growth of SFR as an institutional asset class. He is recognized as an expert resource among the SFR community and is a frequent speaker on industry conference panels.

Over the course of his career, Ted has developed a juxtaposed expertise in physical real estate operations on one end and analytics based quantitative problem solving on the other. He has an ability to bring together all parts of an organization to solve problems from a holistic viewpoint. By leveraging this foundation and accelerating with a tireless business development work ethic, he has been the key player in the building of multiple SFR platforms.

Ted earned an M.B.A from Pepperdine University as well as a B.A. in Mathematics and Philosophy from Linfield College
