I started in senior housing at Atria Senior Living, where I was the developer of Atria Newport Beach.

In early 2021 I spun out of Atria and started Sophos Equities, a senior housing investment and advisory platform targeting underperforming assets. Sophos is Greek for wise or skilled. I chose it because the industry “has destroyed, ad nauseum, most other words for older/wiser people.” I advised Mesa West Capital, the lender, on the refinance of Thrive at Montvale.

Reckon is a senior housing risk index, a personal project in pursuit of senior housing transparency. I’m now Head of Strategic Partnerships at Sage. Thesis interest: owning aging in the US.

“Planes and Zoom make geography small.”

I live in California with my wife and four kids. I smoke good cigars.

BA, Biology and History, University of Kentucky. MBA, University of Louisville. Master of Real Estate Development, USC.

Senior housing is an operating business that happens to be financed and valued as real estate. Scott Hougham
