At JCH, our comprehensive understanding of the industry comes from years of hands-on experience that sets us apart from conventional real estate professionals. No one understands that better than Jim, our JCH Group co-founder.
He has specialized solely in the long-term-care real estate business for most of his professional career. His in-depth background in facility operations and marketing has long given him an impressive advantage in finding hidden value in long-term-care properties.
Jim has sold over $1 billion in senior healthcare properties and is well on the way to his second billion, having been instrumental in the closure of some of the largest transactions in the industry. Jim got his start in the long-term-care industry as a Regional Director of Marketing for the Hillhaven Corporation, now part of Kindred Healthcare. He successfully oversaw 30 facilities and about 3,400 skilled and independent living, Alzheimer’s, and assisted living beds.
Jim earned his Bachelor’s Degree from California State University, Fresno in Radio and Television with an emphasis in advertising and marketing. He resides with his wife and 4-dogs in Anaheim Hills, California.

Jenn has enjoyed a successful career across many industries and settings. The journey to find her passion for the healthcare industry began at the age of 17 when she joined the US Army. She proudly served for eight years as an Intelligence Analyst. Her service took her on two tours to Bosnia and provided ample opportunities to learn the value of teamwork, communication and dedication to a mission greater than yourself. After receiving her BS in Accounting from California State University at San Bernardino, she found her way to Florida where she attended the University of Miami and received her MBA in 2006.
While in school she also worked as an Accounting Supervisor for the publicly traded homebuilder, Lennar Corporation. After graduation, she returned home to southern California where she has spent the last 12 years working in skilled nursing facilities as Controller and then CFO, even earning her Administrator's license. Jenn sits on the Board of Directors for the San Bernardino/Riverside chapter of the California Association of Healthcare Facilities as the Vice President. Most recently, her love for finding resolutions to everyday operational issues resulted in her developing software for the Skilled Nursing industry. She now uses her operational knowledge of healthcare facilities and financial background to initiate as well as facilitate real estate transactions.
Jenn is fueled by a strong commitment to learning, personal growth and contribution. She is a Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic programming and certified as a Kundalini Yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner.
