Gary has spent most of his career building businesses in the real estate, hospitality, and technology sectors. Before starting Roofstock, Gary led one of the largest single-family rental platforms in the United States through its IPO as Co-CEO of Starwood Waypoint Residential Trust, now part of Invitation Homes.
