Brad founded Buckingham Companies in 1984. Now celebrating over three decades of growth and innovation, he has led the company through various ups and downs including three recessions, investing blood, sweat and tears along the way yet realizing consistent growth and success. While not always easy he’s had a ton of fun along the way. Real estate and development are in Brad’s DNA and that passion reveals itself in every corner of the business. Brad’s vision and focus sets the standard high at Buckingham. Brad keeps the pulse of the company, overseeing all of the company-owned partnerships and steering the strategic direction of each of the company's divisions, including property and asset management, development, and construction. Buckingham does things differently – approaching problems from various angles and providing solutions that are creative and effective. Brad prides himself on a continued commitment to detail, even after more than 30 years in business. There are only a few things Brad takes as seriously as real estate: serving the community, serving his employees, and serving his family. That’s what makes a great leader, and great leaders make great companies.

In a company that prides itself on creativity, design and building community through meticulous planning, service and art, Chris might be the most creative person on the team. High-value transactions, public/private partnerships, big projects and small projects alike, Chris makes it happen. Chris’s responsibilities include managing and monitoring all accounting functions, financial reporting, strategic planning/budgeting, financing, investment analysis and investor/lender relations. Chris has been involved in over $1 billion in real estate transactions including development, acquisitions, financings and dispositions, and he has helped Buckingham grow into a national developer with signature projects such as CityWay, Eddy Street Commons and Aertson Midtown. A native to Indianapolis, Chris holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from Ball State University and a master's degree from Butler University. Chris also holds a self-appointed master's in grilling on his Big Green Egg, which is far more valuable to his friends and family than his finance skills. Chris spends his free time with his wife and four kids, demonstrating the same type of commitment to his Buckingham family for over 11 years now. If only his walls could talk, maybe they could help translate some of those spreadsheets.

As General Counsel, Andy provides legal counsel, advice and services intended to enable Buckingham to achieve its business objectives without exposing Buckingham to inappropriate legal risks. If that sounds like pretty serious work, that’s because it is. In-house legal council for a dynamic real estate developer, construction company and management firm is a pretty challenging job. Land agreements, investment agreements, construction management agreements, residential leases, commercial leases, fair housing practices, the list of agreements and legal considerations is endless, unfortunately our general counsel won’t let us disclose the exact number. Additional duties for Andy include unofficial Buckingham MC at company events, occasional stand up comedy and impromptu musically inspired entertainment. Once you get past that that Notre Dame law degree and 15+ years of legal experience, Andy’s just a regular guy. Andy and his legally bound life partner have three boys, spending most of their free time coaching and cheering them on in baseball, football and basketball. One last thing, the legal disclaimer…

Justin’s role as Vice President of Acquisitions and Asset Management puts him in the middle of quite a bit of action. He started his career in property management in Indianapolis and then moved to asset management in sunny Southern California. He came to Buckingham from HFF in Indianapolis, where he was responsible for underwriting debt and equity transactions. As a key member of the acquisition team, Justin is responsible for sourcing deals and maintaining relationships with institutional equity partners. He also supports the development team with analysis of new markets and the underwriting of potential deals, works closely with property management in meeting their analytical needs, and provides an asset management role to institutional joint-venture partners. Finally, he is involved in strategic planning, and financing and structuring debt and equity on new developments and acquisitions. If you can’t tell, Justin can’t get enough. He enjoys learning every aspect of the business and soaking up new knowledge. He enjoys the complexities of real estate so much that he spends his free time practicing it as well, owning several investment properties and a keeping a resume of successful “flip” projects. Justin completed his undergraduate work at Indiana University with degrees in finance and finance/real estate, and he also earned an MBA from Indiana’s Kelley School of Business. When he’s not practicing real estate (professionally or recreationally), he enjoys spending time with his wife, Khailey, who is a special education teacher; riding his bicycle; or hanging out on the golf course at Dye’s Walk.

Among the many hats that Tera wears inside and outside of Buckingham, her favorite one is being a show choir mom for her 16-year-old son. Unfortunately, she is yet to break out into song on a conference call, we hear she has the voice of an angel.

At Buckingham, service is a pillar of the company.

Under Theresa's leadership, Buckingham Foundation has committed more than $2 million in grants and sponsorships to 225 nonprofits since 2007.

Theresa has made volunteering and generosity a fundamental value at Buckingham, as it has become part of the culture and grows stronger every day. Community service is a big part of who Buckingham is and, whether it's time, talent or treasure, Theresa knows how best to give back to the community.

Carmen has been a team member at Buckingham for over 25 years.

Beginning her career with Ernst & Young, Carmen found her way into the real estate world via Simon Property Group, landing with Buckingham in 1993 and never looking back.

Carmen's attention to detail is only matched by her exceptional level of customer service.
