As it’s Vice President of Operations, responsibilities including over 600,000 square feet of Self Storage, project staff coordination, new facility startup and marketing on a national basis.

In the late 80’s as President for a Boston, MA based self storage management company, Inman fine tuned his retail approach to the marketing and operations of over 700,000 square feet of self storage space. Capitalizing from his extensive experience with operations, development and marketing self storage properties, Inman co-founded Storage Investment Management, Inc. in the Fall of 1988.

Storage Investment Management, Inc. (SIMI) soon joined forces with Bryce Grefe who owned, a Boston MA based storage consulting company. The enterprise had the purpose of consolidating and furthering the joint management and consulting capabilities throughout the North East and Mid-Atlantic.

Not long after, Grefe and Inman joined forces with a Boston, MA investment group with the purpose of acquiring Self Storage facilities.
