Welcome!
The intention behind this website is to introduce myself, to offer my experience, and to share my investment journey. Private markets are not as accessible as they could be and angel investing is inherently risky. I am offering my approach and thesis to hold myself accountable, lift up the founders and general partners which inspire me, and hopefully encourage more dialogue and opportunities for others to discover their potential as investors.
My ability to make many of these investments is only possible because of generational wealth, inherited after the passing of my father in 2020, and tax policies which favor a very few. As excited as I am about portfolio construction, I would forego it all to have more time with my father, who taught me the best use of a loving, supportive, and dependable safety net is to extend it to others.
Simplify the Complicated
Whether you are trying to explain enthusiasm in a start-up or the implications of public investment in civil, social, and educational infrastructure, Civic Communications agrees with Brene Brown: "clear is kind and unclear is unkind." Civic Communications has worked with real estate developers getting traditional/new urban neighborhoods through zoning and into development, with transportation agencies building relationships and connections even before the road or bridge is opened, and with planning agencies which sincerely want to engage project stakeholders.
Investing in Affordability
Mixed use development is not just about what is being done on a piece of property; it must also consider how property evolve with its neighbors so get ahead of gentrification. Current focus for Carolina Workshops is in North Charleston, SC.
Artisans Welcome
Co-working space for makers. Messy artisans -such as woodworkers, painters, and craftspeople- benefit from the inspiration, cost cutting, and equipment sharing made possible by working together. We know because Bill Hussey is a professional woodworker. This is the space we needed and know other craftspeople do too.
Project Management
Managing development projects and land holdings across the state of Georgia for two generations, Cofer and Company focuses on strategic assets which are positioned for long term growth of financial, social, and cultural capital.
