Mr. Irving is driven to help catalyze vibrant, socio-economically diverse neighborhoods through housing development. He attributes his passion, in part, to his experiences while growing up as an only child in the Midwest. Irving became homeless at 9 years old while his mother transitioned between jobs and lived in a run-down motel for a while. As Irving recalls, “The amount of struggle we dealt with just to pay the rent brought serious pressure to not only my mother, but myself. Knowing that I am helping to alleviate that kind of pain, not only in the parent, but also in the child is what motivates me.” Irving was attracted to real estate development at 18 after his mother’s passing when he found himself in difficult negotiations over the sale of his mother’s home. “The broker thought that I should sell the house for $20,000 less than what I thought it could be sold for; and the house ended up being sold at my suggested price within two weeks,” said Irving, “That sparked my real estate drive.”
