How did you get into the out of home business?

My dad developed billboards in Atlanta in the 80’s and 90’s which he later sold to the large national companies. So I was aware of the out of home business, but I ended up taking a different path and started a real estate brokerage company back in 2002 that did business in Arizona and several other Western states. Over the years I had considered developing billboards, but I knew it was a complicated process and I just never took the steps to get started. When my dad died from brain cancer in 2023, it motivated me to live life without regrets and I developed my first billboard later that year.

What are some of your objectives for the coming year?

I am looking for modest growth through development and would be open to acquisitions if any presented themselves. I would also like to move away from self-financing and start working with an out-of-home focused lender.

What have you learned about the out of home business?

Finding new locations to develop, at least in my home state of Arizona, is quite difficult but extremely satisfying if you can find that one needle in the haystack.
