Joseph Fernandez
Joe Fernandez has been involved in property management for over 18 years. I started in the industry as a Deputy Director of a small nonprofit. When we acquired a portfolio of affordable housing I selected Yardi to do the compliance and property management. A few years later wanting a change and seeing an opportunity I joined Yardi in 2005 as Affordable Housing Consultant. In my almost ten years with Yardi, I flew over one million miles servicing clients. The job took me all over the country, from Anchorage, AK, west coast, east coast and everywhere place in between (even Grand Forks, ND!). What this experience teaches you is whether the client is large or small we listen, solve their problems and care like it was our business. As you can see I love to travel so when I’m not working I’m planning my next adventure and try to take one of my three daughters on these trips.
Rick Hunt
Whether determining the best mix of hardware and services to maximize his family’s television enjoyment or customizing a SQL report for a BC Solutions client, Rick Hunt is a problem solver. So it makes sense that, after earning a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Tennessee Technological University, Rick started his career providing technical support. Eventually, he made the switch to software development to help eliminate problems from arising in the first place. A master at custom report writing and data transfer, Rick created a process to import and convert more than 50,000 Yardi Affordable Housing tenant records, eliminating hundreds of hours of manual work. When he's not in front of a computer screen, you'll likely find him in the stands of a baseball game or hanging out with his amazingly cool wife and two daughters—sometimes both of those things at once.

During this implementation and record scrubbing the company recovered $1M in uncollected additional tenant billings.
Prior to her Controller role, Ashley worked with a global real estate services company providing 3rd party accounting and property management services to clients. In this role she was part of a small group of experienced real estate accountants tasked with opening the start-up office for the East Region Accounting office and centralizing all accounting functions. On day one the start-up office included only 3 desks and a home office Lexmark printer. Fast forward six years later, the office has grown from a team of three accounts to a team over 30. Offices all over the East Region were consolidated into the start-up office, the New York office being the largest office centralized.
