We recognize that the key to our success lies in our people. That’s why, at the beginning of each month, we will take some extra time to celebrate our high-caliber commercial real estate professionals who mark milestone anniversaries while incessantly striving to win for our clients and associates.
The commercial real estate landscape is constantly changing, and these colleagues have seen it all during their tenure here. We asked some of them to share their thoughts on who has had the most significant impact on them, what their proudest accomplishment has been, how Stream has changed over the years, and what they are looking forward to in the next five years.
Here are some of their responses:
April 2025
Shannon Kidd, Houston, 10 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest moment at Stream isn’t about me—it’s about seeing my company and colleagues grow, excel, and succeed. Knowing that I play even a small role in that progress and development is truly rewarding.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
It’s difficult to name just one person who has had the biggest impact on me at Stream because so many team members have influenced my career in meaningful ways. Lynn Thoms has been especially impactful through her work ethic, support, and leadership, helping me build confidence in myself. I also want to highlight Phoebe Gregg and Kathryn Martin, who have always been incredible colleagues—reliable, supportive, and great sources of advice. Our amazing leasing team, Ryan Barbles and Adam Ross, have played a key role in helping me better understand the market and what it takes to make a deal work. And, of course, our engineering team, including Fernando Zambrana, whose thoughtfulness and dedication to his team are truly unmatched. Lastly, a huge appreciation for our BOMs, who bring a wealth of knowledge and patience, and are always willing to assist and guide us. I’m incredibly grateful to work alongside such an amazing team.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Since joining Stream ten years ago, I’ve watched the company grow tremendously—not just in Houston, but on a national level. It’s been incredible to see that expansion. However, what stands out the most is that despite this growth, Stream has never lost its personal touch. Leadership genuinely knows and values each team member, ensuring we’re more than just an employee number. That sense of recognition and appreciation has always made me feel truly valued here.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time, I love traveling and exploring new places. I also enjoy trying out new recipes and reading a good book.
Liam Stagg, San Antonio, 10 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Being able to assist with our development projects and continue to grow our CM department from what it was when I started at Stream.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Allan Young and Carolyn Shaw have been so supportive of me and our department. They continue to give me opportunities to grow in my career, which is truly appreciated.

Stream has more than doubled the number of offices it now has, compared to when I started in 2015. The culture has remained the same, with an emphasis on letting people develop and thrive.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy spending time with family and friends and watching my grandkids grow. I still enjoy water skiing during the summers, although not to the competitive level I used to. And when I am not working, I play golf as often as I can!
Edwin Sawyer, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest moments are hearing PMs tell me that I am their favorite accountant ever, and they will ask me to be their accountant if they have moved onto another Stream property. I work hard to build lasting relationships with my PM teams, so it is nice to see those relationships blossoming. My approach is to view others’ time as more valuable than my own, which helps foster trust and friendships between me and my PM teams.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
My boss, Ed Starr, has had the biggest impact on me. He is by far the greatest leader I’ve worked under. He will get down in the trenches with his team and help them get through it. He is the type of leader who makes you want to work even harder because of the example he sets for his team.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Going through the global pandemic has changed our approach, with my department being almost fully remote. However, what is impressive is that we have managed to hold onto our culture, even with growing as much as we have since 2020.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy playing tennis and pickleball, as well as bowling and golfing.
Sue Freund, DFW, 5 years

Consistently keeping my clients and their tenants happy is what I’m most proud of. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that the work I do each day directly contributes to their satisfaction and success.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
It’s hard to name just one person—so many members of the Stream team have positively impacted me. I’ve been fortunate to work alongside supportive, collaborative people who are always willing to help and share their knowledge.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
The growth has been remarkable. It’s exciting to see how the company continues to evolve and expand while staying true to its values.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
Earl Owens, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
One of my proudest moments was during a major storm when a transformer blew and caused a complete blackout. I stayed on-site to make sure everything was restored and fully operational by the next day. It was a challenging situation, but I take pride in stepping up when it matters most.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
My property manager, Sue, has had a big impact on me. We work closely as a team to keep things running smoothly and ensure our projects are completed on time. Her leadership and collaboration make a real difference in our day-to-day success.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some truly talented engineers. Their dedication and knowledge helped shape who I am today, and their impact is still felt.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy working on my cars in my free time.
Lisa Morgan, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Changing accounting systems from MRI to Yardi. It was really hard but I have learned a lot for it and because I was afraid at my age I wouldn’t be able to do it, but I did!
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
The President of the property‘s ownership. He was hands–on, knew all of the tenants, and was respectful of every single person on our staff, from day porters and night cleaners to Tiffany Marano! He was a great guy to work for.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has experienced tremendous growth, expanding its team, portfolio, and roles to support that momentum.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Hanging out with family, traveling, singing, experiencing live music, and playing with our dogs.
Daniel Rubio, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Very quickly after joining the Financial Systems team, I noticed that Property, Corporate, and Investment Accounting had many overlapping or competing needs. I took the initiative to start informally centralizing system support across these departments. Since then, we’ve had great success implementing improvements and enhancements, many of which are already live and with more on the way! It’s been incredibly rewarding to help unify and streamline support across multiple teams.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Amanda Dierks, Annie Martin, and Kimberlee Destro have impacted me the most. They’ve consistently been my strongest advocates and have supported my goals every step of the way. I honestly couldn’t have accomplished nearly as much as I have without their guidance and support.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has grown significantly since I joined, and it’s been exciting to be part of that journey. I’ve been closely tied to Property Accounting from the start, and the department has expanded so much that we’re now able to focus on scalability solutions and structured change management. Additionally, the organization has matured with the addition of executive leadership roles like CFO, SVP of Property Accounting, and CIO. I often get to collaborate with them and help bring their strategic visions to life, which is something I really enjoy.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy peace and quiet at home. But when I’m feeling outgoing, I love shopping, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
March 2025
Morgan Blair, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest accomplishment has been growing into a management role. Stream has given me opportunities to step out of my shell, take on leadership responsibilities, and build my confidence.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I’ve learned the most from the Property Accounting Controller group. I really appreciate being included in our weekly controller meetings—they provide great insight and context.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has grown so much! My team has expanded from just me to a team of six over the past five years. I think it’s amazing how Stream has stayed true to its culture of being smart, honest, nice, and passionate while continuing to improve processes, expand into new markets, and implement effective changes.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy live music, collecting passport stamps, and taking a really good nap on my couch.
Ramon Kennelly, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
I’m proud not only of my own professional growth but also of the opportunity to build a team of skilled accountants to take on Stream’s largest accounting-only assignment.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
There are so many impactful individuals at Stream. If I had to narrow it down, it would be Ly Tran for giving me the opportunity I needed and Beverly Hudson for having confidence in my ability to lead.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
The exponential growth—while still maintaining a strong reputation for excellence—has been incredible to witness.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Spending time with my family, walking the dog, camping, and traveling.
Wills Bauer, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Our Tenant Rep team has grown tremendously in Dallas and across the country, and witnessing—and contributing to—that growth and success has been incredibly rewarding.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Randy Cooper has been a mentor to me for over 10 years, but since our move to Stream five years ago, his mentorship has had an even greater impact. He’s always eager to collaborate, which gives me the opportunity to learn through experience rather than just following direction. He’s a natural leader and a true team player.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
It’s grown a lot! It feels like we’re bringing on a new talented individual or team every other week—and you can really feel the positive impact.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I have three little boys under three, so I love chasing them around in my free time. Outside of that, I enjoy being outdoors—hunting, fishing, or golfing with friends and family.
February 2025
Diana Jones, Property Accounting, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Building a career at Stream and growing with the company. When you find a culture and team environment like this, you know you’re in the right place.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
From the start, I’ve been part of the Fund Accounting team, and the leadership and team environment have been phenomenal.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Growth—but the way employees are treated has remained consistent. Processes and procedures continue to evolve to align with the global market, which is very exciting.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I love cycling, both on and off-road. I’m adventurous and enjoy the outdoors, especially spending time at the beach with family and friends.
Sandra Perry, Austin, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Successfully assisting and supporting the Old 6th Street Development Team. Being a part of such an important project for improving the City of Austin is truly amazing.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
My Manager, Pam Schramm. Pam’s willingness and ability to teach and share her knowledge of over 30 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry provided a hands-on education that I could not have gotten elsewhere.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Over the past five years, Stream has grown tremendously from less than 1,000 employees to now over 1,500. This growth has changed the culture somewhat as opportunities for Stream to compete and participate in larger sectors and avenues of the CRE industry.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Sewing. In my free time, I teach beginner sewing to people of all ages, and it is extremely satisfying to watch my students progress as they learn to construct garments, create their own interior designs, etc.
Christopher Hughes, Property Accounting, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest accomplishment at work has been my ability to grow alongside the company, continuously expanding my skills and adapting to new challenges – even through unprecedented times like the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past five years, I’ve had the opportunity to evolve in my role, take on new responsibilities, learn from my colleagues, and strengthen my expertise. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made and look forward to continuing to contribute to the company’s success in the years ahead.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
During my tenure at Stream, the person who has had the biggest impact on me is Sha Alexander. Sha’s patience, guidance, and willingness to support me, especially during the challenging transition to remote work during COVID, made a lasting impression. She not only helped me navigate those uncertain times but also provided a steady source of knowledge and encouragement. I am truly grateful for her mentorship and the positive impact she had on my professional journey at Stream.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Since I joined Stream, the company has continued to grow, attracting talented professionals and expanding its capabilities. One of the most notable changes has been the evolution of specific departments and the embrace of new tools and innovations. It’s been exciting to witness the company’s growth.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time, I enjoy the challenge of board games and socializing with friends. I particularly enjoy strategic games that challenge my problem–solving skills, as well as laughing over friendly competition.
Bates Arnot, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Being a small part of the establishment and growth of Stream’s IDS platform. Despite some of the most challenging market conditions in recent history, the team has worked hard to identify and execute numerous successful projects across the country.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Cannon Green and Chris Jackson. Both were instrumental in teaching me the business right out of college and are the reason I returned to Stream in 2020.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
I first joined Stream in 2009, and since then, the company has grown exponentially—not just in headcount but also by expanding into new verticals and business lines. Stream is constantly evolving to capitalize on market opportunities, which is why it continues to attract such great talent.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Most of my free time is spent raising four kids and attending the many extracurricular activities that come with that. I also enjoy playing golf, hunting, fishing, and getting out to the country, away from the city.
January 2025
Caitlin Ruja, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest achievement has been advancing to my current role within the company. When I joined Stream in 2020 as a Property Assistant, I never imagined the growth and opportunities that would follow. Through dedication and hard work, I have successfully worked my way up to the position of Property Manager, and I’m grateful for the journey and the experiences that have shaped my career thus far.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
The person who has had the greatest impact on my career is Marsha Krueger. She has been an exceptional role model, leader, and mentor. I am incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to work alongside her and for all the valuable lessons she has taught me. Her guidance has shaped both my professional growth and personal development, and I will always carry her influence with me.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
It’s been exciting to see Stream grow and evolve over the past five years. From refining processes and procedures to expanding with new offices across the country, the company’s progress has been inspiring. I’m thrilled to be part of a team that’s always adapting and moving forward.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I really enjoy spending time with my friends and family. Whenever we’re together, we can always count on a good time filled with laughter and great memories.
Craig Mahone, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest accomplishment so far with Stream is recently being promoted to BT II and working for a good, solid, and friendly company that cares for its employees. Honestly, that’s hard to find these days. I am proud that I have been able to work for Stream for five years, and I look forward to the coming years. I hope to gain more experience, expand my knowledge, and advance in my career and with the company! The sky is the limit here!
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I would have to say Brian Roegner had the largest impact on me here at Stream. I was inexperienced with some of the building systems found in a high-rise multi–tenant building; he was calm and understanding, and he had all the patience in the world to help me learn building systems such as chillers, computerized HVAC controls, pumps, and PRVs, and many other things. Now, with Joe Vasquez as chief, I am learning a whole new side of the business, such as managerial skills and the process of obtaining bids & contracts.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
I see that Stream is constantly growing and expanding. While I feel that it has grown, it has also stayed the same in how it treats its employees. It’s always a good feeling to be on a first–name basis with everyone. I like that no matter your position in the company, you are still treated equally and appreciated.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Well, I love a good pastime activity, but I really enjoy hog hunting, cooking, and trying new foods! I also enjoy traveling with my better half and seeing new things! I enjoy hanging out with my kids and attending their activities.
Matt Kolak, Stream Data Centers, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
The recommissioning and restoration of the PHXA1 BMS system due to multiple reworks before handover to operations. I had to work closely with the Engineer of Record, Automated Logic (BMS vendor), and commissioning agent to completely overhaul and retroactively make the system work as designed.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Mariusz Popik. I have been working with him since before Stream. His work ethic, attention to detail, technical knowledge, and drive to help raise those around him have been a great example of how to be a leader.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
There have been a lot of changes. We have grown as an organization when it comes to developing, building, and operating data centers. There has been a large increase in operational knowledge and a big push towards taking the experience and skills of our senior operators and utilizing them to improve the way we do business.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Reading, writing, playing engineering, and history simulators (computer gaming). Picking up photography as a side hobby, but the sub–zero winters in Chicago make it difficult.
Mariusz Popik, Stream Data Centers, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
I contributed to Stream’s success by capturing a major client, building an exceptional team, and delivering quality services to our new customer. Today, this company has a strong presence in our markets.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I believe the most significant impact during my career with Stream was working with the former C&D management. It was challenging to collaborate with them during the development of Stream’s first data center in Chicago. However, we now have a completely different team with which we collaborate and support each other, which has contributed to our success and growth.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream Data Centers has undergone significant changes and continues to evolve to meet the industry’s growing demands. This transformation is essential to remaining competitive and relevant in an ever-changing market. A key requirement is to adapt to such rapid growth, ensuring that we stay ahead of industry trends and continue to deliver the highest level of service to our customers.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
If time permits, I enjoy traveling to explore different countries and cultures. I also cherish spending time with my family and socializing with my friends.
Amanda Carrizales, Austin, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest individual accomplishment to date was contributing to a major repositioning project in one of Austin’s Central Business District buildings. This project was the largest I have been involved in, and it provided invaluable learning experiences, allowing me to gain a deep understanding of the construction process from an investor’s perspective.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Amanda Coupe, our Regional Managing Director, has had the most significant impact on my career. She was the one who hired me five years ago and has consistently been a source of inspiration for her wisdom and leadership.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Growth! Stream has consistently remained true to its core values and has cultivated a positive, collaborative environment. I believe that this commitment to its foundational principles has been key to Stream’s success across various markets. Clients have recognized this integrity, leading them to join and grow alongside the company.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my four beautiful children and attending all their sports activities!
Danielle Rothchild, Houston, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
I’m finding it hard to use an “I” statement, as every accomplishment here is done as a team. That being said, I started as an analyst straight out of college, and I’m proud of the growth I’ve had over the last five years, both personally and professionally.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Each and every person on the office leasing team in Houston has been instrumental in shaping me into the person that I am today, and I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to work alongside such great people. I’d specifically like to thank Kyle Valentine, Weldon Martin, and Brad Fricks – I wouldn’t be where I am without their guidance and belief in me.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Growth! We’re always growing and adapting to whatever changes might be heading our way. It’s been incredible to be a part of such a creative and fun culture, and we’re continuing to evolve. I’m excited for the years ahead!
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I love spending free time with friends and family, traveling, and spending as much time as I can outdoors or being active!
December 2024
Mark Richards, Stream Data Centers, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Honestly, I’m most proud of sticking with Stream. I joined the Navy at 18, and this has been my only job besides that. I didn’t know what to expect as I transitioned, and although I was hopeful, I wasn’t sure that I could do the job, that I would like doing it, or even like being a civilian. Not only have I enjoyed my time here, but I’ve also learned so much and gained a ton of work and life experience, and I don’t regret my decision to join for a moment.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
This might be cliché, but my boss Mark Eilers. He started off as a peer, albeit one with vastly more experience than I, but he was promoted a few years ago to manage our building. He’s always given me great advice, been around and available when I needed help, and I can tell he cares for us just as much as he cares for the building. I’d probably still be here without him as a boss, but he’s improved my time at work and taught me a ton.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
I only regularly interact with the people at my site. However, I really like that we’ve started a qualification process; I think it is necessary and very useful. A lot of the tools we use for work and related things have improved. The overall knowledge and expertise of the individuals working here have also improved, and I’ve seen a direct correlation between the efficiency of the building and how we interact with other departments within Stream.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
My wife and I really like to travel. Over the past three years, we’ve been all over Europe and Mexico; we just got back from a cruise down the Nile and visited the pyramids and temples in Egypt. Last year, we went to Japan (where I had lived for five years, but she’d never been), and we’ve road–tripped and flown to probably about 20 states around the country—we’re trying to hit every baseball stadium. I also like growing vegetables and flowers (although not in the winter up here) and caring for the yard.
Rita Wilson, 15 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My entire time at Stream has been so fluid that it’s hard to identify one accomplishment that stands out. You know – Superman saves the day; I show up and make sure all the numbers go the right places – accurately and on time, in order to ensure Stream remains a shining beacon in the eyes of our clients. I am proud of being an integral part of the watershed moment when Stream developed the Industrial Accounts Receivable team – we started off as three people based in Austin – and adopted SOC 1 policies and procedures. It was an interesting, adventurous, and, of course, challenging time, and I’m glad to have been a part of the experience. It gave me a much greater understanding and deeper perspective of real estate accounting and all its nuances.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Fifteen years is a long time, so it’s hard to pin this down to one person. I would say that my day-to-day interactions with some of my internal clients (property managers, accountants, and team members) have been and continue to be so rewarding and satisfying as we work together to resolve complex commercial accounting issues. I walk away feeling like we’ve all been sitting in a think-tank, sweating out our ideas and finally coming up with a consensus for the best resolution to meet everyone’s needs. Then, as you’re breathing easy, you get an email thanking you for all your help and input. This is what puts a smile on my face; this is what impacts me.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
We’ve certainly become more corporate in our structure, policies, and procedures. THEN: “Sounds good. Let’s do it and see what happens.” NOW: “Here’s the P&P; please follow it closely.” This is the natural evolution of a growing, successful company. It’s been amazing to see the changes occur, starting in Austin (as a temp filling in for a maternity leave) and more recently here in the DFW area – which I moved to about a year and a half ago to be closer to my daughter and grandson. So far, so good, although learning to maneuver my way around this DFW mega-plex has been quite an exasperating challenge.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I love thrift store shopping to find vintage treasures – home décor and fashion; I thoroughly enjoy having dinner with friends and good wine (which can be like a good friend 😊), and I indulge in self-care by binging my British television shows and movies (sometimes with that glass of good wine!).
Sindis Tovi, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest accomplishment at Stream has been joining the IT team. I’ve learned a lot from my coworkers and have grown both professionally and personally. It’s been a great opportunity to contribute to the team and improve my skills.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
During my time at Stream, my team has had the biggest impact on me. Carl Brady played a key role in training me for my role and has provided valuable guidance throughout the years. I’m also incredibly grateful to Scott Haney for being such an amazing and understanding leader. Scott has always been supportive and committed to helping us grow in our roles, consistently offering guidance and encouragement. I will also say that everyone on the team is incredibly kind. We have a few new leaders, and they have all been so supportive of my growth. A huge thank you to the entire IT team for their continued support and for making such a positive impact on my development.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has grown a lot since I first arrived, and it’s been rewarding to see. The company has expanded in both size and opportunities, and it’s exciting to be part of that growth.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
During my free time, I enjoy cooking and spending time with my family. I love traveling, exploring new places, and trying new foods.
Kathy Broll, 20 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest accomplishment is reaching this 20th anniversary at Stream. Why? Coming to Stream from Trammell Crow Company was a “hard landing” at first—it felt like stepping into the “Wild Wild West.” I was brought in as the only Accounts Receivable person, manually processing Lease Commission Invoices in Excel for both the DFW and Houston brokerage teams.
My skill set in accuracy and attention to detail quickly became invaluable, ensuring invoices were correct and paid promptly. I soon realized how passionate and driven our brokers are! That energy and urgency pushed me to rise to the challenge and meet their expectations, setting the stage and pace for my career at Stream over the next 20 years. It’s been a fast-paced and rewarding journey, and I’m incredibly proud to have played a role in our success.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Elizabeth Bayless-Noyes, CPA. Why? She hired me into Stream. We had worked together at Trammell Crow Company, and she was very familiar with my work ethic and dedication to customer service. She trained me to emphasize attention to detail and a “gatekeeper” mentality in correctly processing the Lease Commission Invoices per the Lease Documents. My relationship grew with all the brokers as I settled into fast–paced days with all the ups and downs of the markets and brokers.
Also, Mike McVean and Lee Belland. Why? The Stream Co-Founders were initially Trammell Crow Company brokers while I worked in Accounting. Mike left the company to start his own company, Stream Realty Partners. Lee joined him after wrapping up deals at Trammell Crow Company. I joined Stream several years later. At Stream, I saw them in action on a daily basis. When big payments came through, Mike would jump up on any desk and shout it out to all. We would stand up and clap and cheer at the news. It was a lot of fun watching Stream’s continual growth in the real estate market. We seemed to run circles around our competitors because we were nimble, customer–oriented, and innovative in solving problems. Stream was not top heavy and we could “move” on a dime when necessary to resolve any issue. Mike and Lee barely had a desk; they worked tirelessly every day, meeting every demand from any direction, and thereby successfully navigated Stream to the company that it is today. We have grown to 15 cities and employ over 1,500 employees. Only about 10% of the start-up companies make it to “success,” and Mike and Lee beat the odds. Their enthusiasm, discipline, and leadership inspired me to give my best effort to the Leadership Team and the talented brokers.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
20 years of change has been enormous. We transitioned from manual Excel invoices to the current Real Estate Applications System. The transformation over the past 20 years has been incredible. We’ve embraced technology to streamline operations, moving from manual processes to integrated systems that improve efficiency and provide real-time access for our teams. Corporate operations have gone nearly paperless, and we’ve prioritized cybersecurity, including awareness training and proactive monitoring.
Growth has been a major theme—we’ve expanded into new markets, added a dedicated office for our property management team, and hired specialists like analysts to support our brokerage teams. Overcoming the challenges of the pandemic highlighted the resilience and adaptability of our brokers and staff, who navigated unprecedented circumstances to achieve success.
Today, Stream operates in 15 cities with over 1,500 employees, guided by an exceptional leadership team that continues to steer us toward new opportunities, like our entry into the data center market. Having a CFO now further supports our ability to scale and thrive.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy spending time with my family, listening to music, traveling, watching movies, reading, cooking, baking, working out, gardening vegetables, and exploring new areas of interest.
November 2024
Josh Lewis, Atlanta, 5 years

Working my way up from the position of Maintenance Tech up to the position of Building Ops Supervisor in a relatively short time has been one of my greatest accomplishments during my first three years at Stream.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Three people have had the greatest influence on me while on this career path. They are Monica Selby, Jeff Causey, and Alan Winfrey. They lead by example and have mentored me (and continually do so) every step of the way. They have invested in me like no other and I could not have progressed this far without them. And it’s not just me. These individuals take a personal interest in helping all around them succeed.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Property management is a volatile industry. Properties come and go. People come and go. What has never wavered are the core values that Stream has built its foundation upon. The promotion of those core values is what has pushed the company to greatness.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I don’t necessarily enjoy one activity over the other. I guess I just enjoy living life. I try to keep things interesting by trying new things as well as visiting new places. But then there’s college football. Go VOLS!
Chris Bair, D.C., 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Last year (2023) was pretty amazing—we leased over 100MW of capacity in three different markets. It was an incredible team effort to pull this off and it made me proud to be part of an awesome bunch of high-performing people.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Michael Lahoud, because he calls me when he’s chewing on celery or chopping ice. Serious answer, it’s hard to pick a person—we’ve got a lot of bright and passionate people who continue to impress me every day.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
The size of the Stream Data Centers team is the biggest change and the quality of talent that we have added to the team over the past five years has been really fun to watch.

Dan Harris, DFW, 5 years

Playing a part of building our team which is now comprised of 21 incredible team members. For that team be the most active and formidable team in the market is just a wonderful thing.

Brad Dornak. His expertise and ability to clearly articulate complex real estate situations are second to none. There is no one in this company that better exemplifies Stream’s core values.

Very little from the inside, which is great. From the outside, Stream was always active in the market, but now, Stream is repeatedly at the forefront of large, notable, and complex real estate transactions that garner a lot of attention.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I’ve had some fun digging into my family’s genealogy which has been interesting. Beyond that, I want to be fishing or spending time with my two boys.
Vivian Jang, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
One of my proudest achievements at Stream Realty Partners was launching the company’s website—a massive project that took 2.5 years to complete. I was involved in every part of the process, from brainstorming the vision to collaborating with teams and vendors to make it all come together. It was a huge effort, requiring a lot of problem-solving and teamwork, but the final product was worth it. The website completely transformed Stream’s digital presence, making it a powerful tool for connecting with clients and driving business. Seeing it go live was an incredible moment after so much hard work.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Sandy Wesp had one of the biggest impacts on me, both personally and professionally. She taught me how to approach challenges with grace and patience, no matter how tough things got. She reminded me not to overanalyze messages and to always assume positive intent, which completely shifted how I handle situations. Sandy also showed me that even when people disagree, they can still collaborate and find common ground. She was my sounding board when I needed guidance and, most importantly, my friend. While I’m happy for her in retirement, her lessons stick with me every single day.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Since I joined Stream, it’s been amazing to see how much the company has grown and evolved while still holding tight to the principles that make it special—being nice, honest, passionate, and smart. When I started, there were about 700 employees, and now there are over 1,400, yet that same core culture remains strong. One of the most rewarding parts has been watching individuals grow in their careers, taking on new challenges, developing their skills, and thriving. It’s been incredible to be part of a company where growth isn’t just about numbers but also about people achieving their potential.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time, I love taking my dogs to the dog park, where we’re part of an amazing dog park community—it’s such a fun way to connect with people and let the pups burn off some energy. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, whether we’re catching a comedy show, crafting something creative together, or just hanging out and catching up. Celebrating the people in my life is really important to me, and I try to make time for the little things that show how much I appreciate them. It’s all about connection, laughter, and good company!

Sheba Johnson, Dallas, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest accomplishment at Stream has been my promotion to Senior Accounts Receivable Administrator in 2023. This milestone means a lot to me because of the dedication required to build the expertise needed to earn the role. I take great pride in delivering high-quality work, always keeping my team’s success in mind.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Stream has impacted me deeply through its genuine commitment to its people. During the uncertainties of COVID, when I feared job loss, Stream’s leadership chose to take pay cuts instead of laying off its employees, and that gesture cemented my loyalty. When my father was in the hospital, they allowed me to work remotely, and after he passed, they sent beautiful flowers to his funeral. I truly feel valued and cared for here.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has grown significantly since I joined! The Project Accounting team, in particular, has expanded with so many new talented accountants, which has strengthened our operations.

Ed Sukla, Atlanta, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
One of my proudest achievements at Stream was resolving a major issue with specialty lighting at the property I manage. When I took over, I discovered that around 56 lights were out, and the replacement cost was estimated at $10,000. After investigating, I learned that the lights had been under a 5-year warranty that had recently expired. By engaging in open conversations with the manufacturer about their product, I was able to secure all necessary replacements at no cost, saving both time and resources. This experience reinforced the value of proactive problem-solving and strong communication.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I’ve been fortunate to have the support of some incredible people at Stream. My immediate Property Manager, Leah Moschetta, has been a true pillar for me—consistently backing me up and offering unwavering support. Her dedication is something I am incredibly grateful for. Additionally, I’ve had the rewarding experience of helping a colleague who looked to me as a mentor. He reached out with a question, and though he initially didn’t get the guidance he needed, I was glad to step in and patiently work through the topic with him. At the end of our conversation, he said, “Thanks for being my manager.” While I’m not technically a manager, moments like these make me feel like a leader, and that’s something I really value about my role at Stream.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I travel, fish, golf, and have fun with my nine grandchildren. Just last summer, I had the pleasure of taking four of them trout fishing for the first time, and we had a blast!
September 2024
Carolyn Shaw, San Antonio, 15 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
If I had to pick one thing I am most proud of, it would be my team. I am merely a reflection of their hard work and dedication to delivering the best service to our clients. Working with such an incredible group of individuals is what makes me so honored to waive the Stream banner.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
While I am beyond grateful for the pouring of mentorship from so many at Stream, from people like Liz Sheff, Mike McVean, Lee Belland, Chris Jackson, and so many more, the person, without a doubt, who has been my biggest sponsor, mentor, friend, and partner is Allan Young. He has taught me so many aspects of the industry. However, his impact goes beyond the industry; he has been a role model as an incredible family man, friend, and business partner. I couldn’t imagine where I would be without him.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
When I started, we were a company of 200 professionals, and now we are at more than 1,400. The growth has been exponential, but I am still amazed that the underlying culture still feels the same as it did on day one!
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Spending time with my family and attending multiple kids’ activities, hunting, and fishing.
Melissa Razo, Data Centers, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
One of my proudest accomplishments at Stream has been leading two recruitment implementations (SPR & SDC) from the ground up. On the Stream Data Center side, I was involved in the entire process, from selecting the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to developing hiring processes and policies. What made this experience particularly rewarding was the opportunity to partner closely with key stakeholders and earn their trust, allowing me to bring my expertise to the table and contribute to building a strong recruitment framework.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Gabriela Clark, our Customer Success Director, has had the biggest impact on me during my time at Stream. She has been an invaluable mentor, consistently offering guidance and support as I navigated my role. Gabriela’s leadership style is both empowering and inspiring—she takes the time to listen, provides constructive feedback, and encourages me to step outside my comfort zone. Her insights have helped me refine my skills and grow both professionally and personally. Whether through strategic advice or helping me develop a more customer-centric mindset, her mentorship has played a crucial role in my success at Stream.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Since joining Stream, the company has grown significantly over the past five years. I’ve had the privilege of working across both Stream Realty Partners and Stream Data Centers (SDC), witnessing firsthand how we’ve evolved and adapted.

Jessica O’Hara, Chicago, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
I haven’t done anything here as an individual, and that is what I love about this company. The camaraderie and people there to pick you up when you are down or going through one of the worst office markets in our lifetimes have been incredible. I am proud to say, though, that I understood the potential Stream had in a market like Chicago and couldn’t wait to hop aboard with Patrick Russo to be on the ground floor back in 2019.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Patrick Russo and Adam Showalter. It has been an insane five years to be in the business, specifically office, AND trying to take that next step in your career. They always continued to believe in me even when sometimes I didn’t. Not to mention that they always wanted what was best for me, no matter what. I am fortunate that our paths all crossed.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
It is growing up, so to speak, but still nimble and flexible.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
For me, the best way to answer this is to tell you one thing I 100% do not enjoy doing, and that is cooking. It has NEVER been my jam, and I embrace it and make do with what I can boil or bake with five minutes of prep.
Daniel Coupe, Austin, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest accomplishment is being able to oversee two properties with 17 buildings between them.

Texa Reitnauer, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Working hard, always being a sponge to all learning opportunities around me, and overcoming obstacles got me to where I am today as a Property Manager. I have grown more than I ever could have imagined personally, professionally, and as a manager.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I would have to say the VP team! The support here is incredible, and each VP brings a different value to each aspect of this role.

Cutting wood with my chainsaw!
Scott Haney, Houston, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
When I was hired, I was tasked with modernizing our IT systems from traditional on-premise equipment to cloud-based technology. In the five years I have been at Stream, we are completing that journey this year. We have consolidated our phone and communication systems into one system. We have gained efficiency in how we operate. We have implemented a more structured support model that allows us to stay current with emerging support trends. We are continually improving our systems and positioning ourselves to answer Stream’s business requirements as they emerge. I feel very proud of all of that, but my greatest accomplishment is that my team did this. My team learned the skills needed to manage this. My team continued to deliver on all the business needs, and I was simply in a position to enable them to succeed.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
My team has had the biggest impact on me. They give me a counter perspective, an opinion that would make it impossible for us to be successful without. Their commitment and dedication to Stream and the work we do is inspiring and impressive. It would be impossible to succeed without the team that I lead. Each plays a critical role, from support to project delivery to crisis response. They are highly talented, well-spoken, generous with sharing information, and have a deep interest in helping each other succeed. There are many other people in Stream who have influenced me, but my team stands head and shoulders above everyone else for impacting me.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has added offices, added key executive roles, weathered a pandemic, and endured challenging real estate markets but never lost focus.

Matt Drake, Carolinas, 10 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?

During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
While I have met and worked alongside many great people at Stream, I would have to say, Kimberly Loflin. Her extensive knowledge of property management, accompanied by her Engineering knowledge, has made working with her invaluable. The knowledge she has been able to pass along to me from her experiences with engineering and schooling me on the administrative side has helped me grow beyond what I would have thought.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has grown so much over the past ten years, opening new offices in different states, creating new opportunities for current employees, and making room for new ones.

Blair Miller, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Overseeing the current lobby renovations at 2515 McKinney, previously known as Chateau Plaza. Stream has managed the property since 2010 and oversaw the renovations back in 2011. It was a full-circle moment, and the team is proud of how the renovations have repositioned the asset in the market.

Elizabeth Lybrand, Austin, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
I think my biggest individual accomplishment has been stabilizing my team at 515 Congress. From November 2023 to March 2024, we were operating without a full team (notably, without a property manager). While I had outside support during these six months, I was the only one on-site with knowledge of current projects from start to end. I was also responsible for implementing the budget at the turn of the year, providing updates to asset management, and even assisting with hiring several team members. Now that I have a whole new team (engineers and all), I’ve done my best to teach them what I know and have experienced at the property during the last two and a half years.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
My previous manager, Samantha Capps, has had a tremendous impact on me. While we initially bonded over the semi-tumultuous transition of a property, I am most inspired by her dedication to excellence and strong character in and out of the office. I am also forever grateful to Amanda Coupe for creating a Property Management internship for me (back in the day!), as well as to the industrial teams that I started my career with and all of the foundational skills they taught me.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
It’s not a secret – Stream has grown so much since I started! From 10 to now, 15+ national offices, surviving COVID, to even just the growth of the Austin office has been so exciting to be a part of. One specific change that impacted my everyday life was the migration to Microsoft Teams. I hope that tracking everything digitally will help future Stream teams figure out what was going on 5, 10, or even 15 years from now. Just as important is what has not changed – the core of who we are is still “nice, smart, honest, passionate.”
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time, I’ve been exploring several new creative mediums—water coloring and cross-stitch. I also love to cook for people, play board games with my husband and friends, take my Great Danes for a walk, and squeeze in a bouldering session at my gym when I can. I’ve also tried to travel post-COVID—I recently got back from Paris (where I got to see Olympic Beach Volleyball!) and Amsterdam.
Shelly Thompson, DFW, 10 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
I would say establishing a good reputation. A strong work ethic is sometimes hard to find these days. I believe that the quality of your work really says something about you as a person, good or bad. I feel I have established a solid standing with Stream as someone with genuine character who is honest, reliable, and trustworthy. They can count on me to give my best effort on any assignment.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Everyone! Stream has so many talented people working for it, so the list is long! Property Managers, engineers, accountants, and so many other Stream team members, both past and present, have made lasting impressions on me. I have learned something from every individual that I have had the pleasure to work with over these years, and I truly value the knowledge and direction they have shared to help me grow in this industry.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
It’s exciting to see how Stream has and continues to expand both locally and nationally! I feel a major factor of this positive growth is Stream’s commitment to retaining skilled individuals who embody Stream’s core values—smart, honest, nice, and passionate. But one thing I am glad to see hasn’t changed is that feeling of a closeknit community that sometimes gets lost as companies grow.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I love spending time with my family and friends!
Paul Moser, Data Centers, 25 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
In 2005, we acquired a five-building data center portfolio in Silicon Valley, selling out in nine months and then executing a 1031 exchange into the acquisition of Chase Tower. Why? The transactions helped take Stream to the next level and got us into the data center business in earnest. From there, we began developing our first data centers.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Mike McVean, Lee Belland, and Allan Young. Why? They taught me the real estate business. Specifically how to identify, buy, finance, lease, and sell office buildings. And, more importantly, how to assemble an amazing team of individuals with like-minded values.

My proudest individual accomplishment is building Stream’s IT operation from scratch. I am blessed and honored to have had that opportunity.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Mike and Lee. Both have been such a positive influence on my life for 30+ years. I followed them from Trammell Crow Company because of the trust I had in their leadership, and I am so thankful I did. I was brought on board as a property manager, and Mike and Lee had enough faith in me to allow me to lead the direction and growth of the IT operation as well. I am extremely grateful for their past and future leadership.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Well, I lost count, but I’m pretty sure I was/am employee #19 (if you don’t count Mike and Lee!). Now, we are 1,400+. My first day was in a crowded, single-story office on Empire Central Drive in Dallas (the first Stream HQ!). Now, Stream owns, occupies, and manages some of the finest properties in the USA, and our team is the best in the business!
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I spend my free time sharing my life with my beautiful wife, Marianne, and son, Patrick (and pup, Calvin). I enjoy training for and participating in fitness events, cycling and motorcycling, music (I’m a drummer), and photography.

I was part of the very beginning of Stream Carolinas and helped it grow. I became very knowledgeable in all commercial and Industrial facilities and was able to transition to any type of facility seamlessly.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Daniel Farrar, Mike Burnett, and Kimberly Loflin. These three people bring three very strong and different views and work ethics.

I thank all three of these people.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?

Jack Sallis, Atlanta, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
We have done some great deals in the five years I’ve been here. Collaborating with teammates led to being the Top Producer in Atlanta, which I was proud of.

I am very proud of every project my team has built. Projects that stick out are 501 Congress and, of course, RiverSouth. Most recently, I am proud to have won the City of Austin NESC Development assignment through a lengthy RFP process against the best developers in Austin. I am excited about the future of building the best buildings in Austin for Stream, our clients, and public projects.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
David Blackbird and Derek Land had the vision to bring me to Stream (after meeting them as Architect for 501 Congress) and give me the trust and tools needed to build a team needed to tackle any project, as well as to serve the rest of the Stream Leasing and PM teams and our clients. Will Nichols has now been leading the charge in Austin for several years and has been an incredible leader and supporter of our team and growing workload. In addition to the office leaders, Sam Owen, Amanda Coupe, Brad Phelp, and Clay Golden have all taught me so much over the years.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
It has changed a lot in 10 years. When I started, I think we had 600 people, and it has ballooned to over 1,400 in ten years. I have watched Stream develop from being viewed as a small Texas real estate company to a nationwide brand. With this kind of growth, I am proud of Stream for how they have grown significantly while maintaining the culture I fell in love with 10 years ago.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I like to golf, hunt, and fish whenever my schedule allows, but my favorite time outside of work is spent with my amazing grandkids. My wife and I have seven grown children with eight grandkids.

Antonio Ramirez, DFW, 25 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
During this time, I have had several accomplishments, but I think that the greatest one so far has been having the opportunity to meet and work with a lot of people and learn from them. In the same way, I feel proud to be here for other people and give them the best of me.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Although he is no longer with us, it would have to be Mike B. I met Mike when I was 18 years old, he was a mentor to me and was also highly respected by many other colleagues.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Wow! Stream has maintained its core values, which have not changed, making it, in my opinion, the best company to work for. As we can all see, what has changed about Stream since I started in 1999 is the growth from only a few employees to what we are now. Stream is expanding to other states and keeps growing all this because of its core values and the great people working in the company. This says a lot.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Traveling with my wife and enjoying the outdoors, riding my motorcycle when the weather is nice, and lastly, keeping myself busy doing projects around the house.
Dorothy Hamilton, Washington, D.C., 10 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Growing our Property Management (PM) Talent/Team and portfolio from Eamon O’Shea and myself in 2014 to 63 people today. Additionally, growing the PM platform in 2014 from two buildings in Pennsylvania and Virginia to 45 buildings in D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York City.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I would say Kyle Luby, as his faith in me has encouraged me to look beyond PM Ops into business development. The autonomy and support he has provided over the years has been invaluable. Every day at Stream provides new opportunities and challenges to keep that fire and energy burning.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
As our platform has grown locally and nationally, it has been great to see how our leadership is adapting technology and systems to ensure the support of our teams, clients, and tenants.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Hiking with my partner Cameron and my dog Flora.
Bradley Dunn, Carolinas, 10 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Being trusted to build an industrial team in Atlanta at the age of 24 is high on the list. I’ve made lifelong friendships in the process, and I’m thrilled with how Stream’s Southeast industrial presence is taking shape. Additionally, hiring and training multiple top producers nationally has been incredibly rewarding. Witnessing their growth and success in the industry is a blast. Now, I’m learning from them!
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Chris Jackson, Blake Kendrick, and Ryan Boozer. We modeled much of our ATL/CLT industrial team’s business plan on their successful structure/culture in Dallas. Their support and guidance along the way helped shape our industrial teams and, consequently, much of my career.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
The two biggest changes I’ve witnessed are (1) how much more sophisticated we are in everything we do and (2) how much our brand has grown across the country. We’ve become a national player during my time here.

I enjoy spending time with my family on the weekends, bow hunting, hiking, playing lacrosse, and coaching lacrosse.
Christen Harvill, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Building a marketing team in Dallas that is hard-working, efficient, and that I enjoy working with every day!
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I have learned so much from watching Susan Bloomfield build the National Marketing team and platform over the past five years. She has not only mentored me in my own career but has also provided significant insight into what a growth strategy looks like and how to make it happen.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
In just five years, Stream has gone from 900 employees to over 1,400 employees and from 12 to more than 15 offices. While the company continues to grow, the opportunity to build your own path and grow within the company has continued to be a reason that I stay at Stream.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Spending time with my three little girls!
Patrick Russo, Chicago, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest accomplishment at Stream has been opening the Chicago office in 2019 and helping to build and foster Chicago into an incredible team of 50+ professionals who now feel like family.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Mike, Lee, and Chris, without a doubt, for believing in me. Their trust and partnership have been the guiding force that has motivated me to be better personally and professionally every day. Additionally, I wouldn’t be here without my incredible Chicago partners. We came together over the last five years to create something unique and special in Chicago to disrupt the market and provide best-in-class service to our clients, and it’s working!
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
When I joined in 2019, we had around 800 employees and were in 11 markets. Today, we have over 1,400 employees and are in more than 15 markets, so the growth alone, nationally and locally, has been incredible and fun to be a significant part of. The beauty of our firm is that our core values and culture have remained intact, which is important to all the leaders, including myself. Our growth cannot outpace or impair our culture, that has been a paramount foundation that I appreciate. In addition, we have become more sophisticated from a resource’s perspective on a local and national level. This has allowed our private and flexible platform to allow our people to run and be as successful as possible.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, working on a new project at my house, and playing golf. Also, since joining Stream, I have gained a new appreciation for the outdoors, and I’m an aspiring fly fisherman.
May 2024
Wade Harris, San Antonio, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
It’s tough to pinpoint one single accomplishment that stands out as the proudest because I’ve had the opportunity to work on so many fulfilling projects during my time at Stream. From smaller projects like designing a floor identification system for a parking garage to managing a million-dollar GSA finish-out, each project has been a rewarding experience. These projects, along with everything in between and beyond, have provided invaluable learning opportunities that have helped shape my career.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Several people at Stream have had a significant impact on me. First, there’s Liam Stagg. He saw me as a valuable addition to Stream and the San Antonio Construction Management department. He’s not just a boss; he’s a mentor, a peer, and a friend. Liam has an incredible depth of knowledge, and his unique approach to problem-solving is something I deeply respect. His calm demeanor in challenging situations has taught me the importance of focusing on mutual solutions to better Stream and our clients. Then there’s Allan Young, the Executive Managing Director and Partner of San Antonio. Allan has an amazing attitude, is always open to new ideas, and never fails to bring humor into the office with his smile, quick wit, and “joke of the day.” Both of these individuals have shaped the way I approach my work and have made my experience at Stream extremely rewarding.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Since I started at Stream in 2019, I’ve seen tremendous growth across all departments. We’ve added talented people to our team, and it’s been a thrill to be a part of that journey. What I love is that even with all this growth, we’ve still held on to that small-office feeling with a strong sense of teamwork. From the moment I started working here I felt like a part of something bigger, yet still connected to everyone around me.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I’m very involved in my church community, which keeps me busy in the best way. Beyond that, I love spending quality time with my wife, doing yard work, shopping for the next best deal, and refinishing furniture, to name a few. We love to travel around Texas to visit our kids and our new grandchildren. We also are always on the hunt for the next great BBQ spot. And when I get a quiet moment, you’ll usually find me reading a book.
Bo Lopez, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Being promoted to Property Manager after starting as an Assistant Property Manager. I’ve learned so much and have been so fortunate to have a great team and leadership.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Morgan Neely without a doubt. She has been so instrumental in my growth and knowledge. Her support has helped me through client deadlines and emergency situations at the properties.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
It’s only gotten BETTER. The team has grown so much, and we manage so many more properties than when I first started.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy being a foster parent or playing music on guitar in my free time.
Jason Moser, DFW, 20 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far, and why?
My 20th anniversary and being a part of something much bigger. I am proud to be on the Stream team and call it my family.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
The leaders: Mike, Lee, and Chis. Watching them lead people and a company through highs and lows…a lot of Stream’s competitors downsize in the low times, and Stream always kept its team on board. They value loyalty and understand that people are the key to success.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
In 2004, we were located at 511 E. John Carpenter and had 300 employees in three cities. Now, we are headquartered at 2001 Ross Avenue and have 1,400 employees in key core markets coast to coast. Since I was hired, Stream has grown to one of the country’s top national commercial real estate firms but still operates with the same boutique feel as it did when I joined.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
When I am not making calls, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my two girls and my wife, as well as traveling and going to the lake.
Ebow Anumel, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far, and why?
My proudest moment was the year of the freeze when I was able to maintain four properties and assist other Property Managers who were unable to make it to their properties.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
My fellow engineer, Joe Lopez, has had the biggest impact on me. He has become a great mentor and friend. I always can call and ask for assistance, and he has always been there to lend me a hand and advice.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
I have witnessed the growth of the company; the additional tools, classes, and support to make our jobs easier have grown exponentially. The Stream ream support is beyond expectations.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I love vacationing and spending time with my family.
April 2024
Jerry Mays, Senior Director, Design and Construction, Dallas, 15 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Being on the ground floor of the establishment, growth, and success of office building development at Stream.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Mike and Lee, who I essentially grew up with during our time at Trammell Crow in the 80’s, have been pivotal figures in my career journey. They called me on a Tuesday afternoon in 2009; two days later, I found myself joining them at Stream and never looked back. Their passion for commercial real estate remains as vibrant as ever, and I am proud to have them as my mentors still to this day.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Growing from local to national, going toe to toe with the big boys, and winning!
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Spending time with my family and our grandchildren at our lake house on Lake Granbury.
Gemma Davis, Senior Recruiter, Atlanta, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
It’s hard to pick out any individual accomplishment as so much of what we do in the recruiting world is collaborating with leaders to find and hire great talent. However, I would say that watching people whom I’ve hired as analysts grow in their careers has been really rewarding and fulfilling, knowing that I’ve been able to have a positive impact on their lives, all while helping Stream find great people.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Molly Robottom. She’s not only been an amazing boss and leader for the last five years but also became a great friend and role model!
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
When I joined Stream in April 2019, we had 750 employees and 12 offices. Though we’ve nearly doubled in size since then and added new offices and service lines, we’ve been able to keep the same gritty, entrepreneurial, and dynamic culture that attracted me to Stream in the first place, all while adding much-needed resources to help us continue to support these growing teams.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I only started about two years ago, so it’s a bit of a newer hobby, but I’m a long-distance runner and am beginning my training block for the 2024 Chicago Marathon in a couple of months!
Ahmed Ali, Accounting Manager, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest individual accomplishment at Stream has been developing my immediate team to be the top contributors for the controllerships team.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Michele Chen has had the biggest impact. Her charisma, attitude, and work ethic have played a critical role in shaping and developing not just myself but our entire team. Her leadership is bar none and is one of Stream’s strongest assets.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Since joining Stream, I’ve noticed some positive changes in our culture. While COVID-19 prompted adjustments, like reduced in-person interactions, it also spurred innovation and resilience within our team. Despite challenges, we’ve found creative ways to stay connected and maintain our bonds, fostering a stronger sense of unity. Overall, Stream has evolved dynamically, adapting to external circumstances while nurturing a resilient and cohesive team spirit.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy playing sports like basketball, soccer, and football.
Angela Hatcher, Assistant Property Manager, Dallas, 10 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
I’ve been so lucky to be a part of so many great teams, so it’s difficult to reference something individually, but I’m most proud of being a part of so many successful onboarding and sale transitions. It’s been great to work with so many teams while new properties are brought on or handed off to various owners.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I’ve had the privilege of working with several talented property managers, but I wouldn’t be as successful as I am today without Lisa Spampinato, who I had the pleasure of working with for the majority of my time with Stream.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
It has grown so much. It’s been great to watch the company continue to evolve and expand into so many markets.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy spending my free time with family and traveling with friends.
Ladonna Montgomery, Technology Project Manager, Dallas, 15 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
I work with a team of talented IT professionals, and we have accomplished many things throughout the years. For example, the timing of rolling out Teams/SharePoint/One Drive before COVID-19 hit was a beneficial tool that allowed people working remotely to be more productive.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
It is hard to list just one person. Working with so many different talented people has helped me to grow along with Stream.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
It’s been truly an honor to witness such progress in the past 15 years—from a small team of 200 employees and four IT members to a thriving organization with more than 1,400 employees and more than 20 IT members.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Spending time with family, friends, and fur babies.
Preston Young, National head, Investor Services, Houston, 20 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My most fulfilling achievement at Stream has been guiding numerous individuals to optimize their potential and advance their careers. Witnessing young analysts, associates, and property management professionals evolve into industry superstars and exceptional family members has been incredibly rewarding.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Without a doubt, Kyle Valentine. You couldn’t ask for a better partner than him. There are a million attributes you could use to describe him, but he is the most dependable and humble person I have ever met. No one runs faster to a difficult task. But what most people don’t know is he is probably one of our best business developers as well.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
We now have more than 30 people, and we no longer have our office above the Dallas training center for McDonald’s, which is nice.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Presently, I find myself as an accomplished Uber driver shuttling my four kids around to sporting events and academic endeavors. When I get a break from that, you will most likely find me somewhere outdoors.
March 2024
Cannon Green, National Head, Industrial Development Services, Dallas, 15 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far, and why?
Two of my proudest accomplishments have been becoming a Top Producer of Stream and founding our industrial development vertical.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
My DFW partners. We push each other, care about each other, and support each other’s individual efforts wholeheartedly.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
We are much bigger in terms of people, but our culture continues to thrive, which is not an easy feat.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy spending time with my family in Colorado and our Texas ranch and shooting competitive sporting clays.
David Edmond, Building Operations Supervisor, San Antonio, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
I am always eager to find ways to cut costs. When I am given a project and am able to complete it within the projected cost, I count it as an accomplishment.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
It is so difficult to choose. All my leadership has had a huge impact. If I had to pick one, I would choose Nate Simpson. His guidance on professional and personal matters is invaluable. I know that I can always go to him and get sound advice.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
From previous companies I have worked for, Steam has prioritized the importance of being a TEAM player.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy woodworking, gardening, and spending time with my family.
Lena Thomas, Vice President, DFW, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
It’s hard to reference an individual accomplishment since everything I do is with a team! I’m proud of how I’ve helped to grow the national business and portfolios of our clients. I value those relationships and experience, and it is a prioritized goal of mine to continue growing the National Occupier Services platform, both with existing clients and new ones.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Ryan Boozer of course! Ryan is my partner, mentor, leader, and life coach. Ryan’s training, guidance, and faith in me have had an invaluable impact on my time at Stream. He leads by example, and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work alongside him every day.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has changed in several ways over the last five years. We have grown both in infrastructure and presence in the DFW market but most notably in our people. I am continuously impressed by the talent and caliber of people joining our team every year, and it makes me excited for the years to come!
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, Texas country concerts, and cooking for my friends and family! I’m also extremely competitive, so I’m always game for a round of pickleball or sand volleyball!
February 2024
Laura Gustine, Property Manager, Houston, 10 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Becoming a Property Manager was a big accomplishment while here at Stream. I started at Stream as a Property Administrator and right out of college. So, I have learned a lot over the years.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
From day one Dawn Sartell has been by my side. She has been my cheerleader, mentor, and good friend. I would not be here today without the help from her. Especially in those first few years!
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has changed a lot in the last 10 years. When I first started, we had quarterly luncheons that took place at restaurants or the junior league. Now we have too many people to do that and host at Stream HQ in the large meeting room.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Being with family. I have a 3 year old who keeps me on my toes 24/7.
Kyle Valentine, Executive Managing Director & Partner, Houston, 20 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Launching a new market for Stream in Houston in 2006. We were confident that we would be successful but seeing what it has grown into is something that we are all very proud of.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
It all starts with Mike, Lee & Chris. They’ve always been believers in me and constantly challenge me to keep growing! That being said, these last 18 years with Preston, Justin, and Matteson here in Houston have been pretty special.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
When I joined Stream, Mike & Lee would strategically interview you away from their office on the John Carpenter Freeway so that you wouldn’t know what you were really getting into! Watching a band of aspirational entrepreneurs grow from a few dozen making waves in Dallas to one of the most respected CRE firms in the country has been incredible to participate in. More importantly, we are no longer confused with Extreme Reality or Stream Energy. But one thing that hasn’t changed is our culture which I believe will be the biggest driver of our growth moving forward.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
My free time is almost exclusively spent on a soccer field, football field, track or golf course watching my kids play sports.
Steven M Sumerfelt, Chief Pilot, Dallas, 15 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
Upgrading the company plane was a high point. Along with that, and probably more importantly, we recently added an advanced first aid kit with AED and a satellite phone for direct access to emergency room doctors.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I try to learn from everyone I work with, but Mike McVean has had the biggest influence on my time with Stream. Mike’s position in the company, combined with his aviation knowledge, has given me an excellent source to run ideas by or talk through a scenario. It’s rare to find a senior company executive who takes his flying as seriously as he does.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
The growth at Stream since I started my career here has been incredible!
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
My wife and I enjoy hiking and exploring new places. I also like to hunt and target shoot.
Victor Saldana, Building Technician II, Austin, 15 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
When I started working with Stream, I didn’t have much experience in building maintenance. I only oversaw five small buildings at that time. After a short period, I was moved to the industrial portfolio with Darrell Peay, the shift engineer, with a total of 36 buildings. Over the years and the company’s growth, we were able to inspect and maintain 96 buildings. So far, I’m most proud to become a Building Engineer Tech II with more experience and knowledge than when I started. Now, I feel confident handling all types of circumstances and resolving all kinds of problems, but speaking honestly, I consider it just the start of my journey in this great company.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Darrell Peay has had the biggest impact on me. I owe him most of the maintenance knowledge I have acquired. He always has the time and the availability to teach me something new every time I work with him.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
When I started 15 years ago, Stream Austin was just a small company. Now, it’s the largest property management firm in Austin, managing over 17 million square feet.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I love to spend quality time with my family. I also enjoy fishing and traveling to different countries and learning about their culture, history, and gastronomy.
Joseph Wolf, Accounting Manager, Dallas, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
I was able to bring my years of experience in property accounting to Stream and use my knowledge to work on some challenging properties. Stream saw my high-quality work and positive attitude and felt I would be an asset as a leader within the accounting department. I’ve since been promoted to Accounting Manager, leading a strong, effective team.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
During my time with Stream, two people, Edward Starr and Dov Clayton, have provided excellent examples of how to be a strong leader. They have shown by example that a leader who supports and encourages their team will result in a more positive workplace. I have taken these examples along with my personal experiences to try and lead my team in the way I would want to be treated.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
The largest change in the last five years for almost every company was the impact of COVID-19 and the change in what the “workplace” environment can be. In the accounting department, there was a change to remote working for most of the department. The initial challenge was learning how to adjust our interpersonal communications as we were no longer across from each other in cubicles. It was serendipitous that Stream had adopted using Teams before COVID-19, so the department had the tools in place ready for this sudden, unexpected change in the workplace. Accounting has been very successful in this transition.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
As a father of four children in the late elementary and middle school years, I spend a lot of time as a driver for all their extracurricular activities. I used to enjoy playing sports, but now I either watch from the stands or coach the soccer team. As a child of the early 80s, I enjoy reading, watching movies, and playing video games, which I’ve shared with my kids.
January 2024
Ryan Boozer, Managing Director & Partner, Dallas, 10 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far, and why?
Several transactions come to mind, but the biggest accomplishment is helping multiple partners increase the team’s revenue. I have found that it is more rewarding watching younger people succeed at a high level.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
That is a challenge between a few people. The friendly competition between Blake Kendrick, Cannon Green and Seth Koschak has been an amazing “iron sharpens iron” experience. Watching high-functioning people and trying to implicate those practices into my own life has been critical to my growth.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
One word – GROWTH. The company’s growth over the last few years has been phenomenal, and we expect that to compound in the future.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
When I am not at the office, I enjoy hunting and spending time with my family!
Mark Conn, Building Operations Manager, Dallas, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
My proudest accomplishment has been bringing the team together at One Main. It is never about me but we. We have made great strides here, turning this property around and getting it to operate as it should. We still have more to do, but I am confident the team here will make it happen.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Juan Lopez. Whether you’re dealing with a major disaster or have a simple question, you get the same sound and thoughtful advice in a calming way.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Since I joined Stream, we have moved into many new markets, and the company has grown tremendously.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren and saltwater fishing in my free time. It is a true blessing when I can put the two together.
Andrew Katzfey, Senior Associate, San Antonio, 5 years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
It is difficult for me to pick a proudest accomplishment since I’ve worked on so many cool projects during my tenure with Stream. I’d have to say executing a full building lease at Two Winnco Center in late 2023 would be one of my prouder moments. It was a challenging project that had been vacant for years prior to Stream taking the listing. We were able to get the property leased to a great tenant and on a term deal after some lengthy and challenging negotiations. It was an excellent win for Stream and our newest client.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
I’d say my teammates have been my biggest impact. I had the opportunity to join a team of great people who helped me build my business and learn the market. From there, I have really enjoyed winning assignments and executing business plans with all my colleagues. In my opinion, it is the best aspect of being a part of the Stream team.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has grown tremendously since I joined in 2019. We have added some great talent throughout brokerage, property management and CM, and it has been a great process to be a part of. I appreciate that with all the growth, we have maintained a small office culture and team atmosphere.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy playing basketball (when my body permits it!) and working out during the week. On weekends, I enjoy helping out on our family ranch in South Texas by guiding dove hunts.
Cullen Donohue, Senior Associate, Fort Worth, 5 years
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Tyler Maner and Seth Koschak have both had a substantial impact on me, personally and professionally, since joining Stream. Both Tyler and Seth have tremendous integrity and a tenacious drive. Although I may never have Tyler’s gift of gab or Seth’s stoic nature, they both set a great example and are tremendous leaders at Stream.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?

Our two founders, Mike McVean and Lee Belland. They’ve been my friends, partners and mentors over the past 20 years. Their leadership, support and never losing sight of their vision for Stream, through good times and challenging times, stand out. Their willingness to empower us as leaders and to make mistakes along the way (a lot of mistakes) and for putting us all in partnership together in a way that most founders aren’t willing to do.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Well, we’re a lot bigger! We maybe We maybe had 40 people when I joined Stream. Now we’re close to 1,400. It’s not as hard to get a meeting as it used to be.

Chris Miller, Director of Corporate Security, Regional, 5 Years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
There have been a few, but one that comes to mind is the Pandemic Plan I wrote for SDC that was widely used during COVID. I started it very early because I went through the H1N1 pandemic in 2009 and saw how quickly it spun out of control without all the social media tools available now. We had our plan in place long before our competitors, and I was asked to speak at industry professional sessions regarding plan deployment and management.
During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
My staff has had the most significant impact on me because without them doing their jobs accurately and professionally, I could not do mine. Additionally, I’ve been associated with SDC for nine years (four as a consultant and five as an employee). During that time, I’ve had four managers. My current manager has allowed me the freedom to do my job effectively, resulting in a more refined service delivery for my organization.

During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
My previous supervisor Angela Thomas had the biggest impact on my life. When I first started at Stream five years ago, I had no experience and no college education. She took a chance on me and changed my life. It was because of her I decided to go back to school to finish my degree. She motivated me as well as pushed me to finish college so I would be able to move up in my career. She was also very supportive of my decision to leave her team to transfer to project accounting. Although she is no longer with Stream, I would not be where I am without her guiding me.

During your tenure at Stream, who has had the biggest impact on you and why?
Without a doubt, that person is Samita Ghale. She has been my leader since I first joined Stream. Thanks to her leadership style and accounting knowledge, she has shown me how to become a better accountant and leader myself. She is always available to answer my questions and prepares me for various scenarios within our department. I’m grateful for all the guidance Samita provides.
How has Stream changed since you arrived here?
Stream has grown and diversified so much since I came on board. Our department seems like it has nearly doubled in size. We’ve almost gone completely paperless. We have hybrid and remote work opportunities. Stream has also proven that even a global pandemic couldn’t slow it down.

One of the most exciting things that I played a role in accomplishing was the first investment that I made at Stream (and in my career) in 2011. It was an office building that we purchased in Houston that later sold for a large profit. The success of the investment was fun, but the best part was believing enough in ourselves to move forward at a very uncertain time and achieving returns that were greater than any of us expected.

We have made tremendous strides over the last five years to grow the company while continuing to maintain our culture.

Steve DeVinney, Senior Vice President, Atlanta, 5 Years
What has been your proudest individual accomplishment at Stream so far and why?
