Todd Ewen
Principal/Broker-In-Charge
A Midwesterner at heart, Todd graduated from UW-Madison Business School with a Masters in Real Estate and Urban Planning and is a diehard Badger. Having spent almost 20 years in various commercial real estate roles, Todd worked for US Bank, Kerr Drug, Self-Help Credit Union and McDonald’s Corporation before branching out on his own. And since we know you are wondering, Todd’s favorite McDonald’s sandwich is the Filet-O-Fish.
Todd’s passion for real estate is driven by his belief that real estate touches peoples’ lives every minute of every day.
When not thinking about real estate (which is rare), Todd enjoys time with his wife Ilina and their two sons, traveling, cooking and watching movies. Todd is currently on the Development Team with The Green Chair project and a mentor with students from the UW-Madison Real Estate Program.
