Prior to joining HKS, DeGrossi worked at RPM Development Group, where he oversaw the daily financial analysis and accounting for several properties within the firm’s $1 billion real estate portfolio. DeGrossi has a bachelor of science degree finance and international business from Villanova University. 

Barkley is responsible for commercial loan origination. While still in college, Barkley originated a $7 million transaction after only one summer of interning at HKS Capital. In 2017, Barkley received a bachelor of science degree in management from Indiana University.

“Luke comes to HKS with a strong skill set in  client relations and CRE analysis,” said HKS managing director Charles Yellen. “We are fortunate to have him join us as a member of HKS.”

“Brian broke a record by originating a client loan request within his first two full time working weeks at HKS,” said HKS co-founder Jerry Swartz. “ He has a unique ability to understand the nuances of CRE financing and applying the right formula for any given transaction.”  “His financial sophistication is years beyond his age and management at HKS has great expectations for this young man.”
