Darren Sloniger is a real estate entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is The President of Marquette Companies and has over 25 years of real estate experience and executed over $1 Billion in acquisitions and development projects. We sat down in his latest development, The Catalyst in Houston and talked about his passion for development and business along with his commitment to spirituality, the development of community and helping people on a local, national and global level. We delved into an inspiring and vulnerable conversation on family, adoption, marriage and how money can affect life both positively and negatively. I found his candor refreshing, his demeanor encouraging and his taste in music much like my own (think alt rock – The National). This is a guy who seems calm and confident while simultaneously juggling numerous high profile projects. Living a life that’s inspired (it’s on the wall at The Catalyst) and purposeful and always includes a daily glass of wine with his wife at the end of the day, here’s an inside look at entrepreneur and risk taker Darren Sloniger.
