Phillip J. Ruschmeyer began his career at Van Schaack & Company in 1980, then Colorado’s largest full service real estate agency, with over 1,000 agents. He worked under the tutorial of Robert McNichols, son of Governor Stephen L.R. McNichols, while still at the University of Denver earning his degree in Real Estate Construction Management, with an emphasis in finance. In 1986, Ruschmeyer moved over to Frederick Ross Company, which had become Colorado’s largest private Commercial Real Estate Company. In 1996, Phil led a team to purchase a significant ownership positon in the company. During his career at Ross, Phil led a 12 person team to complete many of the largest leases for both landlords and tenants and over a billion dollars of investment sales throughout metro Denver.  In October 2006, unable to convince ownership that merging with a national or international firm was key to survival of the boutique firm, Ruschmeyer left to join the largest international real estate firm on the globe, CBRE, to co-lead the Tenant Advisory Group.  While there, he led CBRE to win its largest assignment in the company’s history, Google.
