Damian Reed and friends, YMCA York Marathon

WHAT LED YOU TO COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE?
Tearing my ACL. I played baseball in college and tore my ACL.  While I was rehabbing my knee at OSS during the winter break of my junior year I met Mike Katz who was, and still is, a great team member at ROCK. I was talking about looking for internships and he offered to help me with an introduction to the partners at ROCK. I ended up getting the internship with ROCK and came on full-time once I graduated from college.

WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT WORKING AT ROCK?
The ROCK team. Playing team sports my entire life made working for ROCK a natural synergy. Being able rely on, learn from, and assist ROCK team members has been something I have thoroughly enjoyed.

WHO HAS INFLUENCED YOU THE MOST WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR CAREER?
My mother and father have both been extremely influential in my personal and professional growth. I look up to them and have learned a lot from each of them in regards to work ethic, integrity, and resilience.

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP?
Shortstop for the Yankees. This, sadly, didn’t come to fruition.
