our people
We may be small, but we've made a name for ourselves. Our privately held family company has worked hard over the last 30 years to establish itself within the multifamily market we operate. Not only do we have a long list of accolades, many of our employees are also actively involved in their local apartment associations and hold prestigious roles.

I started playing basketball at the age of 4 and still hold the record as the all-time leading scorer of womens basketball at Council High School, with 1,554 points.

Brad Fitzpatrick
Director of Technology| 6+ Years
My favorite part of PRG is the team working environment. The support system, which has been cultivated through years of smart hiring and strategic promotions, shows each day. Employees are comfortable reaching out to each other for help, and while individual effort is always recognized, success is rarely achieved alone.
Career Path:
Outside hire from Temple Universitys Fox School of Business, with a background in IT Consulting and Computer Systems Management
Fun Facts:
While my life revolves around technology, I love hobbies that allow me to unplug. Whether it's continuing my familys tradition of sailing to DIY home improvement projects and gardening, I think it's more important than ever to put down the screen. However, most of the time, I'll be found spending family time with my lovely wife and our two young boys.
