When Don Wenner looks back on his childhood, marked by more than 20 moves before finishing elementary school, he sees not hardship, but purpose.
The founder and CEO of DLP Capital, one of the fastest-growing private real estate investment firms in the U.S., Wenner built his company not just on business acumen but on a deep, personal understanding of what it means to lack stable, affordable housing. Raised by teenage parents in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, Wenner's early years were defined by financial uncertainty, thrift shop clothes, and the absence of a permanent home. Today, he leads a company with $5 billion in assets under management1 and a mission that is unmistakably humanitarian: to create thriving communities and transform lives through attainable housing.
