In Loving Memory
Sam Montes
Mr. Montes served as our Chief Financial Officer in 2025. With over 35 years of experience in finance and accounting—primarily in the real estate sector—he brought exceptional leadership, expertise, and integrity to Acanthus. Prior to joining us, he was CFO of Lat33 Capital, a specialty finance firm with nearly $1 billion in commercial real estate investments. His career also included roles with a national real estate developer, a not-for-profit organization, and over a decade with international public accounting firms. Mr. Montes held a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from California State University, Los Angeles, and previously held CPA licenses in California and Arizona. He made a lasting impact on our team and will be deeply missed.
