Gary Carmell is president and partner of CWS Capital Partners, an investment management firm with a $4 billion+ apartment portfolio. Along with his two partners, Gary is focused on creating wealth over long periods of time without taking excessive risk. Gary Carmell joined CWS in 1987 and is responsible for all aspects of acquisition financing (debt and equity), high-level communications, and is significantly involved in the company’s strategic direction and capital deployment. He has an MBA from USC and a Bachelor's of Arts degree in political science from UCLA, a degree that he believes gives him a unique perspective in his profession. As a young man, Gary was drawn to California by family vacations, UCLA basketball, and his passion for the Grateful Dead. When his girlfriend gave him the option of moving to California with her or breaking up, Gary followed her to the Golden State and started a career in real estate investment. Gary is the author of The Philosophical Investor: Transforming Wisdom into Wealth, a collection of lessons learned and wisdom drawn from his 30+ years of professional experience and filtered through his unique right-brain perspective. Gary runs a weekly blog at www.garycarmell.com, where he reflects on topics on personal and professional development, current events, and more.
