In August 2003, Don assumed the role of President & CEO at Mountain Plains Equity Group, Inc., eventually acquiring the company in 2010. Recently, the organization underwent a restructuring of its business activities, culminating in the sale of its low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) syndication platform to National Equity Fund (NEF) in October 2023. Consequently, the MPEG name has been retired, but the dedicated staff and management persist under the banner of its development entity, CR Builders, LLC (CRB). Transitioning under CR Builders, the team now focuses entirely on the development of high-quality, affordable housing units. With a proven track record of successful housing projects spanning multiple states, CRB brings local expertise and essential resources to the forefront. Operating under the name CR Builders, LLC, the company is committed to enhancing the quality of life and fostering sustainable growth in our communities, staying true to its original mission.
In addition to his business and career responsibilities, Don is actively involved with various professional and civic organizations.
