Sam Rajamanickam, AIA, WELL AP, is a Principal at Design Collective who focuses on student housing and campus life facilities. Over 30 years, he has partnered with institutions including Marquette University, Rutgers University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Idaho and Towson University to plan and deliver student life environments that support belonging, wellness, and connection.

Sam became interested in Third Place theory while observing a persistent challenge: students living in close proximity yet feeling increasingly lonely. This paradox led him to explore how Ray Oldenburg's sociological framework could become a practical tool for housing professionals to evaluate and strengthen campus environments.

His approach emphasizes that physical design, programming, and policy must work together as an integrated system. As a WELL Accredited Professional, he brings wellness expertise to creating spaces that serve all students, with particular attention to equity, accessibility, and psychological safety—empowering housing officers to audit existing spaces and intentionally design environments where students naturally connect.

Nathan Smith Minot, ND, has focused his career on agriculture, land management, and business development with a long-term perspective. Based in North Dakota, he serves as President of Smith Farms, Ltd. and as Managing Partner at Caliber, a real estate development company operating throughout the western United States. Over the past twenty years, he has steadily expanded family-owned agricultural operations while pursuing practical opportunities in real estate and community development. His approach emphasizes careful planning, consistent growth, and the maintenance of strong relationships within the communities he serves.

Nathan grew up near Minot, North Dakota, gaining hands-on experience in agriculture through his family’s grain and cattle operations. From an early age, he worked closely with his father and grandfather, learning responsibility, discipline, and the value of community connections. As he gradually assumed more leadership in farm operations, he observed how previous generations balanced production with land management. These early experiences shaped his practical approach to leadership, agriculture, and long-term business growth while preserving family traditions.

Nathan Michael Smith earned a degree in Agricultural Economics from North Dakota State University. His entrepreneurial spirit was evident in high school when he started a business importing trucks from Canada for resale. By the age of twenty, he was managing multiple truck sales each month while exploring additional opportunities in transportation and agriculture. These experiences helped him develop practical skills in negotiation, investment evaluation, and operational management, providing a foundation to support both the growth of his family farm and his development projects.

Nathan assumed leadership of Smith Farms, Ltd. in 1999 when the company managed approximately 460 leased acres. Through consistent planning and careful execution, he expanded the operation to more than 30,000 acres, including grain and cattle production across the region. He focused on efficiency, financial management, and risk mitigation while maintaining the family’s agricultural traditions. Strong community relationships guided his growth strategy, ensuring the company remained a stable and responsible contributor to regional agriculture and the local economy.

Realtor Nathan Smith recognized opportunities in residential housing and community development, prompting him to establish Heartland Developers, LLC. He oversaw projects including townhomes and duplexes designed to meet local housing needs while supporting seasonal agricultural workers. Additional developments extended into Montana, Colorado, and Idaho. Each project was approached with practicality, long-term planning, and attention to community needs. His work in real estate applied lessons from agriculture, focusing on steady growth, financial responsibility, and support for the communities where developments were implemented.

Nathan became Managing Partner at Caliber in 2024, taking responsibility for land evaluation, financial assessment, and strategic development planning. His agricultural experience continues to inform his approach, helping ensure projects align with regional growth and practical land use. He collaborates with business partners, local authorities, and industry stakeholders to evaluate opportunities, manage risk, and implement development strategies that balance operational and financial stability while supporting sustainable outcomes for the communities involved.

Nate Smith remains active in community organizations alongside his professional responsibilities. He serves on the board of the Trinity Hospital Foundation and is a member of the local Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, he is engaged with the Wheat Growers Association at both state and national levels, supporting agricultural policies and programs that benefit regional farmers. His community involvement also includes winter sports organizations, reflecting his interest in recreation and his commitment to strengthening programs that provide residents with opportunities and benefits.

Nathan Smith Minot, ND, continues to balance agriculture, land development, and community engagement with a focus on sustainable growth and long-term planning. Through Smith Farms, Heartland Developers, and Caliber, he applies practical knowledge and long-term strategies to maintain steady progress.

In this role, he oversees companies involved in residential and commercial real estate investing, holding, development, and management services. Before giving his full attention to this work, he founded an integrative psychiatry practice with locations in two major California cities. He served as its chief executive and president for nearly 10 years, gaining experience that connected healthcare leadership, business operations, and entrepreneurship.

Dr. Bindal built his medical career as a board-certified psychiatrist and sleep specialist.

Ankur Bindal became known for his work in brain stimulation, especially Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. His experience included treating former professional football players, working professionals, physicians, underserved patients, and individuals from different parts of the world. This treatment is a non-invasive outpatient option that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It is often used for patients with depression symptoms when antidepressant medications have not worked well enough.

He serves as CEO and president of The Mullins Companies, which includes Mullins Properties and Mullins Sports & Entertainment. Over time, his organization expanded from a small set of ventures into a diversified operation spanning real estate, construction, franchise management, restaurants, sports, entertainment, and media. His work reflects a consistent effort to create stability, opportunity, and practical growth.

Joe Mullins of Augusta was raised in Evans, Georgia, where early involvement in athletics, theater, and leadership programs such as FBLA, Jr. Achievement, and 4H shaped his discipline and communication skills. He earned a BBA in Business Management from the University of Georgia and later studied at UCLA under Hollywood agent Henry Holmes.

Through this work, Joe developed strengths in negotiation, trust building, and talent management. He also gained valuable experience through an internship with the Anthony Robbins companies, which reinforced his focus on accountability and personal development.

Entrepreneurship became the next phase of his career. Joe expanded into real estate and development, often acquiring underperforming properties and investing resources to improve them. Over time, his portfolio grew to include more than 800 multifamily units along with several commercial assets.

Mark Adams is the founder and president of California Receivership Group (CRG), a company that has been revitalizing distressed properties for over 25 years. With a deep commitment to transforming unsafe and neglected buildings, he and his team have rehabilitated 415 properties across California, Tennessee, and Texas, overseeing $62.5 million in rehab loans, all repaid. His work has had a profound economic impact, creating approximately 1,500 jobs and improving communities by restoring properties that were once considered liabilities.

CRG specializes in receivership, a legal process that allows courts to take control of distressed properties to address critical safety concerns, code violations, and neglect. Adams has utilized this legal tool to tackle various challenging property issues, including fire damage, hoarding, abandoned homes, and contamination from hazardous materials. Through receivership, he and his team can secure, clean up, and rehabilitate these properties, returning them to productive use. This process offers a more timely and effective solution for properties that traditional property management approaches have struggled to address.

Adams’s success in California prompted him to expand CRG’s services to other states. In 2019, he launched Texas Receivership Group (TxRG) and Tennessee Receivership Group (TRG), extending the firm’s reach to new communities in need. TxRG has secured two appointments in Dallas, while TRG recently completed its 36th property in Memphis. These expansions reflect his determination to share his expertise with other cities, helping them solve their property problems and restore neighborhoods.

Beyond his work with CRG, Adams has been a driving force in advancing the receivership industry. As a co-founder of the Vacant Property Receivership Consortium (VPRC), a nonprofit organization, he has helped promote receivership as an effective tool for revitalizing vacant and distressed properties. Through VPRC, he has raised awareness about the importance of receivership and advocated for policies that support its use. He has also been a sought-after speaker at various industry conferences, such as the Receivership Roundtable and the Center for Community Progress National Land Bank Network Summit, where he has shared his knowledge with other professionals.

Receiver Mark Adams’ expertise in receivership also gained attention following the 2020 Los Angeles wildfires. After the disaster, he was invited to write an article for Receivership News, a publication of the California Receivers Forum. His article discussed how receivership can be essential in recovering fire-damaged properties. He emphasized the importance of receivership in securing these properties, preventing further damage, and initiating rehabilitation, allowing communities to recover more quickly and safely.

Adams’ journey in the receivership field began in 1999 when he became the first court-appointed receiver under California’s Health and Safety Code. His first case involved remediating unsafe conditions at a 66-unit apartment complex, marking the start of his long and successful career. Since then, he has worked on various properties, including residential buildings, hotels, and commercial spaces, always restoring them to safe, livable conditions.

Adams has earned several prestigious awards, including the Distinguished Entrepreneurial Alumnus Award from Loyola Marymount University. His leadership in the receivership industry and commitment to improving communities have made him a respected figure.

Mark Adams’ work continues to shape the future of receivership and property revitalization. His dedication to transforming distressed properties into valuable community assets has impacted the neighborhoods he serves. As he continues to expand CRG’s reach and advocate for receivership, he remains committed to helping communities overcome the challenges of distressed properties and improve the quality of life for residents.

Robert Orton of West Des Moines, IA, owns Orton Development Company and is the CEO of American Group LLC, his real estate holding company. Counted among the Midwest's largest real estate brokers and developers, Orton Homes has built a reputation for offering reasonably priced homes with high-end finishes. His long-term partnerships with construction material suppliers and subcontractors make this possible. Beyond building homes, he is also known for guiding landlords on expanding into larger portfolio holdings, helping them grow successfully in real estate.

As a land developer in downtown Des Moines and throughout the Midwest, Robert has received awards for home design, interior design, and Builder of the Year. His achievements include innovation in real estate technology, with a home package delivery and drone delivery system patent. He has further worked on developing a transaction demand exchange intellectual property patent for an AI and Crypto application in financial exchanges. These projects reflect his interest in combining real estate with technology and his dedication to supporting SMBs.

He was born in London, England, and attended Rugby Boarding School before studying real estate management and economics in Oxford and London. Even before becoming an American citizen, he started his first company, remodeling and leasing flats in London and Brighton. After moving to the United States, he built real estate interests across Iowa, Colorado, Florida, and Minnesota. His fascination with real estate was strongly tied to his family history, as many men in his family were masons who contributed to the rebuilding of London after World War 2.

Robert’s interest in real estate began in childhood while traveling with his grandfather to job sites, where he witnessed the details of home building. His appreciation for interiors grew through his work in the family business, Orton Fine Arts and Antiques. From the age of 14, and throughout his university years, he gained valuable experience with commercial property specialists. After relocating to the U.S., he expanded his business network by forming connections in Scottsdale, AZ, and New York.

In 2010, Robert Orton founded Orton Homes, a custom and spec home developer headquartered in Iowa to serve the Midwest. Over time, his business ventures grew to include Orton Development Company, specializing in land development for residential and commercial projects, RT Development, a property holding company, and Nexus, a commercial construction company. He also built a strong presence in the rental market with Go Rental Team, LLC, focusing on homes and multifamily properties.

His success is closely tied to his proprietary land development and construction process. He works directly with homeowners at every stage, from lot selection and financing to customization and final construction. His approach ensures that each home reflects its owners' needs and style. His commercial projects also follow the same careful process, designed to combine function with interiors suited to traditional and modern preferences.

Orton has led the development of residential communities across Iowa, including Ashley Acres, Creekview Estates, Gladbury Park, and Scenic Ridge. These neighborhoods feature ranch-style and two- or three-bedroom homes with gourmet kitchens, fireplaces, spacious bathrooms, and three-car garages. His teams are recognized as specialists in starter homes and luxury residences, contributing to his reputation as a leading home builder.

Community service has always been an essential part of his life. He has contributed to homeless shelters, children’s health organizations, and support services for victims of trauma or violence. He also volunteers with church groups and has assisted in interventions for people facing serious mental health challenges. His collaboration with grassroots organizations and medical professionals demonstrates his ongoing commitment to those in need.

Outside of business, Robert is a world traveler and Rugby enthusiast. He played the sport during college and captained an unbeaten team. In his youth, he also enjoyed hockey and cricket. Today, he often travels with his family on skiing trips to mountain destinations worldwide. His time abroad has given him opportunities to enjoy different cultures and cuisines. At home, he spends time with his daughters, visiting theaters and museums, and going on yearly hunting trips.

Robert Orton’s journey from London to the United States reflects a career shaped by dedication, innovation, and community. He continues to influence real estate development while building lasting connections with families and communities across the Midwest.

— VD Mia Öhrn, Merry Monday

Mia Öhrn är medgrundare och VD för designstudion Merry Monday som designar kontor med hjälp av neurodesign.
