Marsh Collective

Who we are

We are a multidisciplinary team who invests our talents into people, places, and businesses. Our team is made up of investors, operators, owners, and designers. We work to build teams, clarify vision, and engage in passionate placemaking with our clients.

We believe:

What we do

We work with leaders, teams, patrons and developers to help clarify their vision and build a realistic plan to bring that vision to fruition.

In all that we do we work to redeem people, places, & businesses.

In the placemaking realm, we bring partnership to purpose driven real estate developments and hospitality pursuits through small business development, thoughtful programming, design development and more.

Because we have learned that restoration does not equal revitalization we work to build teams and leaders through mentoring and coaching. This allows us to help steward our clients assets and relationships as we would our own.

We refer to this work as quite a few things:

Who we serve

Our clients are people who have a love of place, but need assistance in clarity of vision, planning, development, and execution.

We work with clients who are building projects and places from the ground up, revitalizing historic downtown cores, and doing just about everything in between.

We also work with teams, couples, and businesses through coaching and mentoring.

Our Clients are:

Overcoming Obstacles

Problems we hear from clients…

“The place I live & love is deteriorating. I want the place I care about to flourish. Is there hope for my town?”


The way we help you overcome…

We believe that every city can, and should, be redeemed. Our team can bring the empathy & skills that come from 30+ years of doing the work with our own money, so that your town can flourish again.

We learned that rehabilitation does not equal revitalization through our own mistakes. We can partner with you to cultivate prospering business & entrepreneurship that will activate your town.

“I bought & restored property in my town, but it has not had the change or impact I hoped for.”


We treat towns as mixed use developments with fractional ownership. Our team is exceptionally experienced in balancing the tensions of the many voices in the room.

“My team, stakeholders, & I cannot agree upon a common vision & strategy for our community.”


We believe that sustainable growth is the lead indicator to success. Our interdisciplinary team works with each client to make sure that their work stands on a strong foundation of sustainable business.

“I feel like I am going to have to continually reinvest in this project. Is it worth it? How can it become sustainable?”


As a group of serial entrepreneurs, most of whom have worked with our spouses, we bring empathy and strategies to addressing the very real toll of building businesses & families that are built on a good foundation.

“Help! I’m married to a serial entrepreneur and it is crashing our relationship. How can we flourish in work and in life together?”


If you want your business to reach its full potential, I strongly recommend engaging with Marsh Collective’s extraordinary team. They don’t just give textbook solutions to leadership challenges. They live them out together with your team.
