CEO
Joseph Ryan Smolarz is the founder of STOR Partners which was created to help provide financial sovereignty to doctors interested in holding self-storage assets. Dr. Smolarz has vast experience as an entrepreneur and as an Otolaryngology practitioner. As a medical professional, he has developed a patent for a reflux medication and has another invention that is patent pending. In commercial real estate, he has a broad range of experience in self-storage and assisted living. In these asset classes he has participated in both development and acquisitions. Dr. Smolarz understands that any successful venture or investment fund, whether public or private, requires a team and painstaking detail in the team building process. This takes years of training and education, which his MBA from the University of Miami certainly contributes to this skill set.
Most importantly, and the team he is most proud of, his family. Dr. Smolarz is a father to his son Asher Drew, his daughter Harper Ayden, his white Spinoni Ollie, as well as a husband of sixteen years to his wife Kelli. He is also a pilot and an avid surfer.
