development arm, Koll Development Company. Prior
to joining Koll, Ortwein served at Wells Fargo Bank where he was
responsible for the financing of commercial development product. Capping a
10-year tenure in the banking industry, Ortwein steadily rose through the
management ranks of Security Pacific Bank and Wells Fargo. A
graduate of the United
