DAVID M. ROUNICK
Penn Valley, PA
Starting from the ground floor and working his way up to management at Deb Shops Inc.,David Rounick obtained hands-on, all-encompassing experience on what it takes to run a successful nationwide apparel retail chain. Among the positions held prior to the business being sold were merchandise manager, buyer, and Assistant to the Director of Store Operations.
It was while working in the family business and scouting for new store locations that Mr. Rounick acquired a talent for real estate investment. He started investing in real estate projects and has since expanded to a focused portfolio that also continues to be on the lookout for commercial investments involving apartment buildings, student housing projects, mixed used and other opportunities such as those involving urban revitalization.
