e: jblom@founders3.com | p: 414.249.2228

Q: Which projects are you most excited about?
A: Currently I’m most excited for the Foxconn Project.  I am excited to see how much of an impact it truly will have on Wisconsin as a whole.  In addition, I’m very excited about all of the activity going on downtown Milwaukee as well.  It’s nice that the city is starting to be revitalized and turning into a city that people and consumers want to come visit.

Q: What is your favorite restaurant?
A: I like to try a wide variety of restaurants, but at the moment, one of my favorite restaurants is Fresh Fin Poke.  It’s a new to market concept that has a few locations in the Milwaukee area and their food is unbelievably fresh and plentiful.

Q: What Made you choose Commercial Real Estate?
A: I had always been intrigued with Real Estate and considered residential at first.  However, I was fortunate enough to meet my current boss at a previous job that I had and after some very informative conversations with him, I decided that I was fascinated with CRE and when I was offered a job with their firm, it was a no brainer for me to accept the position.  It’s been a blast so far and I’m looking forward to the coming years and building my business.

Q: What is one word that comes to mind when you think of CARW?
A: Success.  CARW is beyond successful in every aspect of their organization.

Q: What is your biggest takeaway from our NextGen meetings?
A: My biggest takeaway is that I was exposed to so many unknowns within CRE.  I’ve been doing retail leasing and sales for a little over 4 years now, but to see all of the different dynamics and niches within CRE beyond simple leasing and sales was informative and intriguing.  I definitely feel like a stronger and more credible broker due to the NEXTGen meetings.

Q: If you could have lunch with anyone in the world, who would it be?
A: There are a lot of people I’d like to have lunch with, but I think I would choose Aaron Rodgers.  I would love to talk football with him, but also talk business with him and hear some of his stories about all of his trials and tribulations he has faced both on and off the field.

Fred Stalle | Mid-America Real Estate – WI, LLC
e: FStalle@midamericagrp.com| p:  (414) 273-4600

Q: Which projects are you most excited about?
A: The 2nd street corridor in Walkers Point/Fifth Ward has been exciting with all of the new restaurant concepts emerging in recent years. Most, if not all, have been local operators so I am excited about the potential for Chicago (and other cities) foodies to infiltrate and make their mark whether it be Walkers Point, the Third & Fifth Wards or even downtown. Additionally, I am excited to see national box retail surface at Freshwater Plaza since that will be a first for the area.

Q: What is your favorite restaurant?
A: No one restaurant specifically. I am interested in anything that blends foreign cuisine with American dining culture.

Q: What Made you choose Commercial Real Estate?
A: At the time, I was living and working in Denver. Having witnessed all of the changes to the city and metro areas throughout my tenure, my curiosity was peaked. Milwaukee was just starting to heat up in terms of revitalization so I wanted to take part in the hometown action. I have always been fascinated by real estate and how the commercial segment plays such an important role in giving a city, suburb, etcetera a sense of personality.

Q: What is one word that comes to mind when you think of CARW?
A: Connection. CARW does a fantastic job incorporating and connecting so many of the different business segments within the industry.

Q: What is your biggest takeaway from our NextGen meetings?
A: Personally, I gain the most out of hearing other people’s stories. How they got involved in the business, their successes/failures and advice. One speaker specifically really made an impact in terms of helping me think differently, smarter, faster.

Q: If you could have lunch with anyone in the world, who would it be?
A: Tom Brady (still a die-hard packers fan, don’t worry).

Q: Which projects are you most excited about?

Q: What Made you choose Commercial Real Estate?
A: Coming out of college, I got into banking, spending time in commercial lending, credit underwriting and loan portfolio management.

A: I would say taking what I’ve learned from the panelists each month and implementing that knowledge into my everyday routine at work.
Q: If you could have lunch with anyone in the world, who would it be?
A: That’s an easy one. I would have lunch with Brady, Gronk and Edelman. I think our conversations would involve a lot of sports talk and would lead into the business side of football.

Q: Which projects are you most excited about?

Q: What is your favorite restaurant?
A: This changes quite frequently. Right now I love Santino’s down in Bayview; such a neat environment with great Italian food.

Q: What Made you choose Commercial Real Estate?

Q: What is one word that comes to mind when you think of CARW?
A: Hustle. I have never seen Tracy, Davis or Layla take a break. Each day they’re putting in 110% to ensure that all of the events, legislative efforts & membership activities go off without a hitch. That word of course applies to the board of directors and past chairmen. These are dedicated professionals working to strengthen our industry and broaden our impact to the wider community.

Q: What is your biggest takeaway from our NextGen meetings?
A: Everyone in brokerage operates their business differently. My biggest take away from our NextGen meetings is how to manage my own personal brand.

Q: If you could have lunch with anyone in the world, who would it be?
A: I don’t think I’d be able to pass up the opportunity to grab lunch with the world’s most interesting man, Bruce Westling.
