Rickie began his career in the multifamily industry in 2012, starting on-site as a leasing consultant and working his way up to roles including property manager and training manager. Throughout this progression, he gained extensive experience across property management operations while working in both conventional and affordable housing, developing a strong foundation in leadership, team development, and resident experience.

After seven years on site, Rickie was recruited by MSH/Lowe’s as an Account Manager, where he successfully grew and developed a strong market presence. He was later promoted to National Account Manager for the Carolinas, overseeing major accounts, strengthening existing relationships, and building new partnerships, while supporting and managing one of the top-performing accounts in the organization. This hands-on career path has given Rickie a deep, practical understanding of the multifamily space from both an operational and strategic perspective.
