Austin Moore is the CEO and Co-Founder of Elias Collective, bringing 25+ years as a U.S. Air Force Special Operations veteran to the leadership of the firm. His career in Special Operations cultivated the operational discipline, mission-clarity, and team leadership principles that define Elias Collective's approach to investment management.

As General Partner for the industrial and advanced manufacturing pillar, Austin leverages a deep network within the defense and aerospace sectors to source and evaluate assets in markets benefiting from domestic reshoring and defense investment.

Austin's military background is not a credential — it is a methodology. He applies the precision and accountability standards of special operations to underwriting, portfolio management, and investor communication.

Addison Moore serves as Co-Founder & Fund Manager, overseeing CRE analysis, capital markets, and fund strategy at Elias Collective. Prior to co-founding Elias Collective, Addison worked at Rodos Partners, where he developed expertise in commercial real estate underwriting and institutional capital markets.

Addison leads the firm's investor relations function and oversees the analytical rigor applied to asset evaluation across all three investment pillars. His focus on fundamentals-driven underwriting ensures that every investment decision reflects disciplined capital deployment rather than market sentiment.

Bill Henak brings over 40 years of experience in commercial finance and real estate lending to Elias Collective. As a former Executive Vice President at both TCF Bank and Huntington National Bank, Bill led national commercial lending platforms with over $14 billion in assets under management.

His deep expertise in credit underwriting, loan structuring, and lender relationships provides Elias Collective with an institutional-grade perspective on financing strategy and debt capital markets — a critical advantage in a capital-intensive industry.

Bill's track record spans multiple credit cycles, giving him a practitioner's understanding of how leverage and credit structure perform through market stress.

Dave Kuplic is a former CEO and Chief Investment Officer with one of the most distinguished institutional investment management backgrounds of any GP team in private real estate. As CEO of Securian Asset Management, he oversaw $60 billion in assets under management. Prior to that, he served as CIO of Securian Financial with $35 billion in assets.

Dave is a CFA charterholder, reflecting his commitment to the highest standard of investment analysis and portfolio discipline. His institutional perspective on portfolio construction, risk management, and asset allocation informs Elias Collective's overall fund strategy and investor reporting.

Trish Kelly brings more than 40 years of experience in banking and commercial real estate to Elias Collective. Her career includes senior leadership positions as Executive Vice President at both TCF Bank and Huntington National Bank, where she oversaw an $18 billion commercial real estate portfolio.

Prior to that, Trish served as Executive Vice President at RBS Citizens, managing complex CRE relationships at an institutional scale. Her expertise in portfolio management, credit risk, and borrower relationships across market cycles provides Elias Collective with invaluable operational depth in deal execution and asset management.

Phil DeGuire leads Elias Collective's multifamily and workforce housing investment pillar. A specialist in multifamily real estate, Phil brings direct operating experience in property acquisition, asset management, and value-creation execution across workforce and market-rate housing.

His focus on markets adjacent to industrial job-growth corridors is not accidental — Phil's thesis is that the most durable multifamily investments are anchored by workforce demand, not luxury amenities. This requires deep market knowledge and operator relationships, both of which Phil has cultivated over his career.

Craig Karasin leads the self-storage investment pillar at Elias Collective as a dedicated domain specialist. Craig's expertise in self-storage acquisition and operations spans infill and suburban markets across the U.S., with particular strength in identifying supply-constrained markets before institutional capital arrives.

His operator relationships and off-market deal sourcing capabilities allow Elias Collective to access self-storage assets that never come to market through traditional brokerage channels — a critical advantage in a sector where the best opportunities rarely reach open market pricing.
