Don Young

Co-Chairman

A native Philadelphian, Don graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Drexel University.

 

He started his business career in the packaging industry and ultimately led Marketing and Sales for Simkins Industries.

 

In the mid-1980s, he diversified his interests by becoming an investor in multi-family real estate in Alexandria, VA, and continued with real estate investments throughout New Jersey.

 

By the early 2000s, he saw the need for a lender that would finance commercial real estate for borrowers who could not qualify for bank financing due to the strict guidelines of the banking industry.

 

 Seeing this as an opportunity, in 2002 he founded Oak Leaf Financial, which merged with Commonwealth Capital in 2018. Don is now Co-Chairman of the firm.
