Who We are

Our Team

The people behind MEDCO — a multidisciplinary team of finance, development, and asset operations management professionals working across every corner of Maryland.

MEDCO's team brings decades of experience in economic development, project financing, real estate development and construction, asset operations and compliance management, and advisory and consultancy services. We possess a genuine love for the Maryland places where we live, raise families and put down roots. We show up curious, stay committed and work alongside the communities, institutions, and partners who share our belief that Maryland's best is always still ahead.

But we don't do this work alone. MEDCO's team works closely with a dedicated Board of Directors and a broad network of partners who contribute local insight, operations, technical expertise, institutional knowledge and a shared commitment to moving projects forward.
