Bio
Brian Klebash
I am very pleased to recommend Mike Porritt for his professional approach, enthusiasm and knowledge of the growing student housing industry. Indeed, I would refer to Mike as the "Doctor of Student Housing." Mike brings unique knowledge of Canadian, U.S. and international markets and players on both sides including developers and academic end-users. There is no doubt that with Mike in charge of any student housing journey/venture, you will get to your destination.

Mike is a thoughtful and precise communicator. The combination of his experience in student housing and his eagerness to educate make him an excellent leader and colleague. His ability to not pass judgment in the most crucial conversations is truly admirable. I am pleased to have the opportunity to learn from and work with Mike.
