Meet the Team — Belrose Storage Group

With over 17 years of experience in commercial real estate, Joe’s primary responsibility at Belrose is to oversee all aspects of the company and directly supervise acquisitions.
In his position as CEO, Joe thoroughly enjoys “the art of the deal,” and finds every day to be a new and exciting challenge. When he sees the investors he works with increase their quality of life by improving their financial security, he knows he’s accomplished a job well done.
Joe got into the world of financial securities, mortgages, and real estate because he has a knack for learning about and excelling in lesser-known industries.
While Joe grew up as an Army brat, he’s called the suburbs of Philadelphia home since he was seven. Today, Joe lives outside of Philly with his wife, Dina, and their kids Raya, Degan, and Griffin. Joe and Dina stay busy driving their boys to and from lots of sporting activities including lacrosse, football, and basketball. When he has some time to himself, you’ll often find Joe on the golf course.
Joe currently serves on the board of the Lake Harmony Estates and the Lake Group in the Pocono mountains. He stays actively involved in his local community and coaches a youth basketball team.

Chief Development Officer &
VP of Operations

As CDO, Tim oversees the portfolio operations at Belrose. His primary responsibility is to make sure the self-storage facilities our firm has purchased are producing maximum revenue while incurring minimal expenses. In addition, he oversees the expansions and developments at Belrose, working closely with design and build companies to establish new facilities.
With a B.S. from Towson University, Tim brings over 11 years of relevant industry experience to his position here.
In 2012, Tim received a wake-up call that gave him the motivation he needed to pursue his passion. After just one year into retirement, his father, a police officer of 35 years, passed away unexpectedly at an early age. This pushed Tim to commit to following his dreams now, instead of waiting until “the time was right.” He resigned from his safe, yet ordinary, job at the age of 31 and began working in real estate and investing.
While it’s challenging at times, Tim enjoys the unique blend of quantitative and qualitative activities that keep him engaged and excited to work every day for his team and the investors.
Originally from Bowie, Maryland, Tim currently lives in Alexandria, Virginia with his dog, Rocco. When he’s not in the office, he enjoys getting on the golf course, biking, playing tennis, and traveling the world. He’s currently in the process of establishing his nonprofit, “Project Home Give,” which will provide renovations and renovated properties to deserving families.
