Jeffery Linker is a real estate developer based in Northeast Ohio. Mr. Linker holds a B.S.B.A. Degree in Finance, and a Master’s of Business Administration Degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Upon graduation from the Wharton School, Mr. Linker joined Associated Estates Corporation in Cleveland, Ohio (now called Associated Estates Realty Corporation – NYSE: symbol AEC). During his tenure at AERC, Mr. Linker established his initial career experience in the acquisition, development, and management of real estate. While employed with AERC, he was directly responsible for the development of large-scale projects that included single-family housing, a 200-acre industrial park, and several, large, “class-A” multi-family rental communities. The once privately-held company was taken public on the NYSE in 1993, after which Mr. Linker served as Director of Acquisitions and Development until 1996. Since 1996 he has developed, from the ground-up, several multifamily communities in Ohio; and is currently involved in single-family and condominium developments in Ohio and Florida.

Mr. Linker worked with Jeff Lustic at AERC, where they became good friends. Jeffrey Lustic retired from AERC in 2005, after a 26-year career at the company. During his tenure, Mr. Lustic held numerous corporate positions at Ohio's largest property management company, including Director of Operational Accounting, Director of Budgeting & Financial Planning, and Director of Ancillary Income. When Mr. Lustic began his career with AERC, it was a private, family-owned firm. In 2005, as a publicly owned real estate investment trust (a “REIT”), AERC managed over 25,000 multifamily units. Mr. Lustic is now responsible for the day-to-day operations of GPMC, interfacing with the on-site Property Managers on a daily basis; managing primary vendor relationships, and overseeing the financial management of the portfolio.

Linker formed GPMC with Lustic in late 2005, with the specific goals of:
   1. Managing the apartment portfolio that Mr. Linker had personally developed since 1997;
   2. Managing new properties developed and acquired by Mr. Linker and his investors;
   3. Growing GPMC by selectively pursuing third-party management accounts.
