Henry is a serial learner, especially when it comes to all things real estate. From becoming a licensed realtor in Utah to earning his Masters Degree in Real Estate Development, Henry has always sought out additional opportunities to learn and grow in the industry. He was exposed to self-storage early in his career with Extra Space Storage and realized its appeal through underwriting thousands of development and acquisition opportunities across the country. He leads acquisition efforts for Hearthfire Holdings and would love to chat about any opportunities you may have.
After starting his career in real estate as a residential realtor in Utah, Henry joined the Third Party and Asset Management team at Extra Space Storage. Henry led the underwriting efforts for outside partners on both the acquisition and development fronts. He also created the State of Third Party report, used by the executive team to track key performance indicators and growth opportunities nationwide.
From there, Henry spent some time in land acquisition and development with Ivory Homes, the largest home builder in Utah, where he led projects from origination through entitlements and gained valuable experience in deal negotiation and government approvals.
Most recently he acted as Investments Director for a real estate investment company focused on the development and acquisition of self-storage and retail mixed-use projects in primary and secondary markets throughout the United States.
Henry received his Bachelor of Finance from University of Utah, and Master of Real Estate Development from University of Utah.
Family is everything to Henry. He and his wife Abby are the lucky parents of two incredible kiddos. When not dressing up as Prince Charming or having dance parties with his oldest daughter, Henry enjoys all things sports, from golfing to cheering on the local high school basketball teams. Abby and Henry are also avid travelers and love visiting London, England where they first met as volunteers for their church in 2015.
Attention to detail is key to a successful development venture. No matter the dollar value or physical size of a development, every project deserves the same level of mindfulness and consideration. Will has made a career of striving for this goal and has successfully developed and constructed Self Storage facilities throughout the United States.
Relationships are currency in the construction business, and Will has established an abundance of connections over the years—as a project manager, self-storage site manager, and owner of a construction company. As Hearthfire’s Director of Construction, Will manages all aspects of projects, from planning through completion. A significant part of his role includes building and maintaining relationships with contractors and subcontractors.
Will was introduced to the self-storage industry by a family friend who owned multiple self-storage facilities. After pursuing several years of training to become an electrical engineer, Will accepted a position as an on-site manager for a self-storage facility, overseeing day-to-day operations of the facility. Gradually he shifted to project management and spent several years managing construction projects and performing facility maintenance.
These experiences were the catalysts that drove Will to start his own construction company. For five years, Will’s company worked strictly with self-storage facilities. The company handled the construction of new steel buildings and general maintenance.
Will received his degree in Engineering from West Virginia University.
We're always looking to expand our talent pool. We want passionate, dedicated, affable people who work to exceed client expectations.
