In September 2023, Emily celebrated ten years with Ernst Capital, she joined our team in 2013 and is a Senior Associate where she assists with human resources, accounting, asset management, marketing activities, data collection, analysis and investor relations.

What do you like most about your job?
The thing that I most enjoy about working at Ernst Capital is the ability to watch a project come to life. Each project that we raise capital for is unique. Considering our projects are all in the region and many right here in Sioux Falls, it’s easy to drive by them frequently and watch the progress. Over the past ten years, I have watched so many parcels of bare land develop into full blown communities.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
Hands down, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. My kids, Braxton and Hadley are hilarious and watching them learn and grow is the most rewarding thing. My husband Paul and I stay (probably too) busy with house projects and travel when we can. The whole family also enjoys getting outdoors. My in-laws have a summer cabin in Canada, so we try to get up there to catch the really big fish at least once a year with the whole family. Even if they’re not biting, I’m more than happy relaxing with a good book.

Where is your hometown?
I moved to Mitchell when I was little and graduated from high school there, let’s go Kernels! My mom and most of her family still live in Mitchell, so it’s a quick trip to get back to visit when we can.
