With over a decade of experience in public accounting, Andrew, a licensed CPA,  acted as lead counsel to multiple real estate ventures, expertly guiding them through the acquisition, retention, and sale of over $100M in property.

Before Waymark, Jake co-founded a multi-million-dollar creative-services agency that served Fortune 500 clients—including Delta Air Lines, Amazon, TikTok, and Capital One—bringing extensive c-suite experience to the Waymark team.

Passionate about value-add multifamily, Jake pairs data-driven underwriting with design-led repositioning to unlock value and advance Waymark’s mandate to deliver attractive, risk-adjusted returns for investors while elevating the communities and submarkets we serve.

Dr Larry Burchett MD is both physician and investor, pursuing lifelong goals of financial freedom and serving those most in need.   From Kansas City, he went to Notre Dame for undergrad and KU Med for medical school, where he bought his first house, and the dreams of Waymark were planted, with Jeff one of his first roommates.  

Actively practicing medicine in small town California emergency rooms, he’s been able to serve in Haiti, Africa and Alaska, while also building a real estate portfolio across KC, MO and California.  He believes in using what he’s been given to make a difference, and looks forward to doing so as a part of Waymark Capital.
