Hightower started and ran his technology company for over two decades before selling the company and launching Bridgetown Partners (d/b/a ROIClear). Bridgetown/ROIClear buys commercial real estate in Arizona, Tennessee, and Texas, with a special focus on 50- to 150-unit multifamily properties. The company also produces the ROIClear Podcast, a video podcast for business leaders. Scouting & Travel Hightower is active with the Boy Scouts of America (Eagle Scout, Silver Beaver) where he teaches future leaders about budgeting and time management. Hightower is a scuba diver, marathon runner, martial artist, skier, and world traveler. He has visited every state in the USA and most continents on planet Earth. He receives speaking invitations from around the world, and he blogs on technology and business growth at https://www.RayHightower.com. Early Career Early in his career, Hightower worked in software development and technical sales in corporate America, followed by a stint in commercial real estate brokerage with Marcus & Millichap. He studied Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and earned his BS in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Launching Companies Hightower launched WisdomGroup as a network consultancy. He earned the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) certification and pulled the company into the Microsoft Certified Solution Provider (MCSP) ecosystem. Later, as the open-source movement gained momentum, Hightower steered the company away from networking and toward software development with open-source tools such as Ruby on Rails. After the pivot to software development, WisdomGroup completed web and mobile projects in multiple industries including healthcare, financial services, high-performance computing, e-commerce, travel, event management, and not-for-profit. Each successful project led to larger opportunities and a stronger reputation for the team, culminating in the sale of the company after twenty-one years of operation. ROIClear + Syndication Hightower’s real estate company, Bridgetown Partners (d/b/a ROIClear), is a buyer and syndicator of multi-family properties.
