He structured PadSplit as a Public Benefit Corporation with a social impact mission to help solve the affordable housing crisis, one room at a time. Through its shared housing model, PadSplit aligns incentives between property owners, cities and those who seek affordable housing, which allows residents to save more money and dramatically improve their lives.

He still serves as co-founder of Stryant Investments and Stryant Construction, which specializes in finding value in properties with unique challenges that cause them to be overlooked by larger investment firms. A recognized thought leader on housing solutions, he has presented at MIT, UC Berkeley, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, as well as regularly contributing to Forbes and other publications. He has served as the chair of ULI’s UrbanPlan Education Initiative, co-chaired the Design For Affordability Task Force in 2018, and serves in multiple civic and volunteer capacities.
