John Helmick
CEO
I am the leader of an exceptional Team of Gorillas! I seek out both debt and equity financing, so we always have enough money in the bank to purchase and remodel homes and pay our employees; to attract this financing, I oversee our core business so that our returns are attractive to capital investors.
In my spare time, I enjoy feeding my goats, lifting weights, and sleeping!

Caitlin Knudsen
Executive Assistant To The Ceo
I keep our CEO on schedule and assist him by creating and compiling the management reports required. I also manage our capital investor relations and act as a paralegal for our Legal Department. In my spare time, I volunteer with Girl Scouts, play chauffeur and number one cheerleader for my children, and keep a garden experimenting with different spicy peppers!
Barry Tompkins
Executive Vice President
If it has an electronic pulse, it is my responsibility. I oversee the technology infrastructure, and data that Gorilla Capital utilizes daily. Research, modeling, and testing are a large part of my time. Any given day of the week you’ll find me interacting directly with our fix & flip operators, and other clients, to better understand what they need, to help them understand what we need from them, and finding ways to bridge any gap between. In my spare time, I enjoy live music, flying planes, comedy clubs, and playing hockey.
