Pace, Richard

Education: Bachelor’s degree in architecture, University of Michigan

First Thing I Do When I Start My Day: I start by reading the Bible and praying. That puts me in the right direction for each day.

What Motivates Me: I am motivated by the desire to glorify God. That motivation gives me focus in both my personal and business life.

Most Important Leadership Quality: I believe the most important quality of leadership is servant leadership. I am much more effective when I am focused on the needs of my tenants, customers and employees. That focus creates long-term value and profit.

My Very First Job and What I Learned From It: I helped my brother deliver The Cleveland Press when I was 11 years old. I learned about how rewarding work can be, especially the sense of self worth from accomplishing a task. I also learned about saving.

Where I Will Be In 10 Years: I hope to be in Cleveland helping faith-based organizations find real estate that can further their mission through the good work of Land Bank Charities.
