C. Thomas McMillen, Chairman and CEO

C. Thomas McMillen

C. Thomas McMillen has served as the company’s Chairman & CEO since Auguat 2005.

From 1987 through 1993, he served three consecutive terms in the United States House of Representatives from the 4th Congressional District of Maryland where he had extensive public policy experience in real estate asset disposition. While in Congress as a member of Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee during the savings and loan crisis, McMillen led the effort with his amendment during the 1989 savings and loan legislation (FIRREA), to force the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) to use private-sector contractors in managing and disposing of assets. The RTC closed in 1995 and was generally regarded as a success as it recovered, using private-sector contractors, over 85% of the value of the assets it held. The final cost to American taxpayers for the savings and loan crisis proved to be much less than originally estimated, totaling $132 billion rather than figures of $500 billion that had been floated.

Prior to his Congressional service, Mr. McMillen was a member of the 1972 Olympic team and played 11 years in the National Basketball Association. He is the chairman of the National Foundation on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition and also serves on the Board of Regents of the University of Maryland System.
