COFFEE OR COCKTAIL : Cucumber vodka with 15 calorie lemonade and a sprig of fresh mint . Yum ! FAVORITE NON-RESTAURANT DENVER SPOT : Miller Farms to pick fresh veggies .

WRITE A FORTUNE COOKIE FORTUNE : “ He who has everything has nothing .” SUPER HERO POWER : Doing 14 things at one time . NEW TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE JOB EASIER : An easily customizable dashboard with all the main goodies accounted for on one page . YOUR FIRST APARTMENT : It was a house that was converted in to two apartments . My bedroom was previously the back porch . It had brick walls and no heat . NEW WAYS TO LOOK FOR NEW TALENT : Recruiting is like putting together a puzzle . I am constantly thinking about how to build our bench strength and where to place people now and in the future .

COFFEE OR COCKTAIL : My favorite cocktail is the vodka soda but it has to be served with a lemon wedge and not the traditional lime . The drink is a lot like myself , it is simple , clear , transparent and gets the job done ! FAVORITE NON-RESTAURANT DENVER SPOT : I live near Cheeseman Park which is an easy walk and I also pass through the park on the days that I walk to my office . The views give me inspiration , and the peacefulness gives me time to reflect . On weekends I love to meet friends there for volleyball and the occasional BBQ with friends . NEXT BIG THING IN APARTMENT LIVING ? I think in ten years we will see apartment buildings with a lot less parking garages . I really can see the day when nobody owns a car . Everyone will use a car service such as Uber or a car sharing program . Particularly in the urban core and downtown where space is a premium and most essential services are so close to apartment communities . SUPER HERO POWER : My super hero power is the ability to see far into the future . It is a lot like x-ray vision , but instead of seeing through objects , I can see through time . I have a great vision and ability to use what I see . MOST SIGNIFICANT TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT IN THE INDUSTRY : For small owners like myself who are now able to use accounting software and property management programs that the large companies have been able to use for many years . Finally , the price point is dropping so that it makes financial sense for the use even if you have under 100 units . YOUR FIRST APARTMENT : I have been living in Capitol Hill neighborhood from the time I graduated college . My first apartment was one of the many historic building in that area . $ 600 for a 2 bedroom top floor apartment with mountain views . I still remember it didn ' t have air conditioning and slow elevator . KEEPS YOU UP AT NIGHT : These days I am sleeping very well , but my biggest concern is local city government being intrusive into my business . There are too many bureaucrats that want to tell me how to run my business . ERA OF LIFE TO RE-LIVE : Doesn ' t everyone want to be a kid again ? Oh , how I would love a carefree summer with nothing to do and nothing to worry about !
