PPMC Staff

Freddie, despite all attempts, has been able to skillfully evade his colleagues and refuses to write a bio of himself. It's okay, Freddie. We've got your back.   

Here is what we know: 

• He wears, on occasion, an amazing (and massive) Russian fur hat given to him by his fantastic wife. 
• His sense of humor is so intact that he manages to play verbal defense in a way that would shock a politician.
• In 2009, Freddie started exploring the real estate business and began working for Artspace leading the Performance Property team. 
• In his spare time, Freddie likes to drink pink ladies while hanging out with his friends; enjoys making people laugh; go on bike rides in the rain; and read science fiction books while soaking in a bubble bath. Just kidding. Well, everything except the making people laugh part. His good nature is contagious.

Freddie is our talented President of Performance Property, and we are so fortunate to have him taking care of myriad things at our properties. Rock on, Freddie. 

Toi joins PPMC with a Regional Management agent and compliance background. She has held supervisory roles with property management companies for portfolios of HUD/ Tax Credit, Public Housing, and Trust Fund affordable housing sites. She holds a broker’s license and is COS, TCS, and CLIHTF certified.

Toi has extensive knowledge of the Tax Credit, Low Income Housing Trust Fund, Housing Choice Voucher, Project Base Section 8, Statewide Referral Network programs and regulatory compliance for all. Toi has worked as a consultant and trainer to provide on-site and remote staff services for these program types for nationally known organizations and management companies.

Toi is a playwright and short story writer. Toi’s love for writing and acting was further enhanced when she studied under Artistic Director Runako Jahi of the ETA Theater in Chicago. Although a writer of plays and short stories, Toi has utilized her oratory, broadcasting and marketing skills while working with A.C. Green of the A.C. Green Radio Show and early on for public speaking engagements for the City of Chicago’s Department on Aging.    

Becky's contagious enthusiasm for Galveston, its history, and its arts community is the first encounter potential tenants have when contacting the National Hotel Artist Lofts. As the building manager for over a decade, Becky exemplifies the grassroots community building efforts championed by Artspace. Her tireless volunteer efforts continue to connect a diverse range of artists and patrons, Galvestonians and tourists, and regional and international arts organizations.

Becky wears many hats at NHAL as landlord, maintenance, janitor, event coordinator, dog walker, fish feeder, and partner in all things good. She has served on the City's Cultural Arts Commission and the Galveston Theater and Arts Partnership for a number of years. She believes that if there were more institutions like Artspace that empowered creative people to do what they do best, the world would be a better place and NHAL is evidence of that!

Stacy Malbon joined Artspace as a member of the finance team in 2015 and transitioned into Property Management over the next few years. When Artspace purchased the Northrup King Building in 2019, Stacy instantly knew that spending her days trying to get over 350 independent artists to agree on any one thing was the life purpose she had been waiting for.

As Director of Operations and Programming at the Northrup King Building, Stacy manages the day-to-day operations at Artspace’s largest building while coordinating and hosting a number of art events that bring thousands of people through the iconic building’s front doors.

Born and raised in the Twin Cities, she graduated from the University of Minnesota and stubbornly insists that all of the good beer, good food, good dogs, good art and well, good pretty much everything is found in Northeast Minneapolis. On the rare occasion that you can convince her to leave the northern part of the city, you can usually find her in the northern part of the state, getting sunburnt in a canoe or hopelessly lost on a trail in the Superior National Forest.

Kim Sanchez joined the Artspace team in 2017 as the tech support and programming manager at El Barrio's Artspace PS109. She is certified by I.A.OT.S. as a wedding and event designer and planner, as well as certified by I.C.O.E.S. as a music and film events manager. Currently, she is working towards achieving her associate degree in business management.

Kim is a proactive, results-oriented, bilingual professional with solid experience in the finance and nonprofit fields. Her expertise spans project management, financial reporting, office management, and customer service. Her excellent analytical, research, and writing skills has led her to much success within the entertainment and events industry. Kim has more than 14 years of experience planning various types of events, and brings her eye for design and sense of style to each. She has planned, designed, and executed weddings, various private social events, and much more. Her detail-oriented and organized mind motivates Kim to create the perfect journey for her clients, where they get to experience their events as a guest. She likes everything to be just right, even the small details, because they can make a huge difference in a special event. She is a dedicated professional who is not afraid to put in the extra time to make her client's event special. 

When Kim is not being a worker bee, she likes to spend time with family and friends, dance, and travel.

Dr. David Stark has served as Community Manager of Artspace Hamilton Lofts since February 2018. 

It’s a decision we’ve regretted ever since he was hired. 

Originally from Nashville, he is a former high school All-State and collegiate All-American basketball player. But he only got those awards for being 7ft tall. He wasn’t really that good. 

He postponed adulthood for as long as he could by just staying in school until like the 30th grade. This insecure over-achiever earned three master’s degrees (at the same time, under full scholarships, and with honors, no less… what a nerd!) including one in Organization Leadership and Admin from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington (2007). 

He also holds a PhD (one of the British kinds that you actually have to earn with an “original thought”, which is specifically funny because his closest acquaintances and co-workers call him a “himbo” right to face) from the University of Manchester, England (2011). But only a few other geeks have yet to care about his revisionist thoughts on religion and perfectionism in the 18th century Age of Enlightenment because, you know, it’s a total snooze fest that didn’t shake anything up for anyone. 

And he’s not that smart so he must have cheated anyway. 

He’s spent ten years as a high school history teacher at private schools in the Kanas City and Cincinnati areas because this guy isn’t really suited for the public. And he just showed YouTube clips the entire time and no one learned anything. He also coached several sports team at the time and his teams lost every single game they played and never once won a championship or anything. 

When it comes to the arts, he is entirely talentless. 

But he knows plenty of great artists and creatives who indulge him and his title of Founder and Director of The Strauss Gallery (at Artspace Hamilton) as a kind of long-running practical joke. When he throws an event, there is often standing room only, which is testament to how much of the City of Hamilton and Butler County, OH are in on the joke of David’s affability and relevancy. 

He’s also way too involved with local civic organizations and causes, like Hamilton’s 17STRONG Neighborhoods executive board, The Corn Stand Jam for Mental Health Awareness, WeArtHamilton, and Hamilton’s Charter Review Commission, to name a few. They give him leadership titles at the top out of a sense of pity because everyone else involved in said groups knows they are his only “friends”. 

In 2025, David was celebrated for receiving one of the city's highest recognitions amongst its 62,000+ residents, being named the "Hamilton Citizen of the Year". However, it is yet to be seen if this honor will be rescinded. 

If we had to say one nice thing about this ridiculous giant man, it would be…
