The Burrell Group was formed by Daniel C. Burrell. Mr. Burrell and the Company served as Principal and Managing Member of the Rosemont Co-Investment Fund, a vehicle that invested in minority positions alongside institutional private equity partners such as The Blackstone Group, Texas Pacific Group, The Carlyle Group, Bain Capital, KKR, Oppenheimer & Co., Natural Gas Partners, as well as others. The Rosemont Co-Investment Fund participated in transactions across a variety of sectors and, with approximately $200 million in assets under management (“AUM”), developed a diversified portfolio in the semiconductor space, distressed debt, manufacturing of specialty defense and aviation products, as well as medical technology.

In late 2009, Mr. Burrell and the Company formed Rosemont Realty. Under Mr. Burrell’s leadership as Chairman and CEO from 2009-2015, Rosemont Realty grew to an enterprise value of approximately $3.5 billion, with assets located primarily in the mountain west, southeast, and southwest United States. Over Mr. Burrell’s tenure, Rosemont Realty acquired and managed over 17 million square feet of commercial and residential property through a vertically integrated structure that comprised in-house leasing, project financing, property management, compliance, reporting and back-office support systems. The company currently operates under the name of Gemini-Rosemont Realty.

Mr. Burrell and the Company entered the higher education space by founding the Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine (“BCOM”), located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Mr. Burrell served as Co-Founder, Executive Chairman, and Budget Committee Chairman of BCOM from 2013 until 2020. BCOM operates as a “first-of-its-kind” model in the field of osteopathic medical education. In 2020, BCOM had the distinction of graduating its first cohort of 162 medical students and received full accreditation status from the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (“COCA”), as well as from the United States Department of Education (“USDOE”).

In 2016, Mr. Burrell and the Company launched the Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine (“ICOM”) in furtherance of its efforts to serve the medical needs of the mountain west and contiguous Rocky Mountain states. ICOM operates under a similar public-private partnership model to BCOM through its affiliation with Idaho State University. ICOM will graduate its initial cohort of medical students in May 2022 and at that time receive full accreditation status from the COCA, as well as the USDOE.

While BCOM and ICOM are separate and distinct institutions of higher learning, they do have a shared mission that, among other things, is focused on addressing nationwide doctor shortages and the development of graduate medical education programs (“GME”). The Burrell Group is proud to work alongside a broad range of partners, including Rice Management Company, the Texas Pacific Group, local and regional hospital systems, community and non-profit organizations, as well as a broad donor network, to support its medical education initiatives.

Mr. Burrell and the Company formed The Burrell Aviation Group (“Burrell Aviation”). Burrell Aviation is focused on meeting the growing demand for air cargo, freight and logistics solutions in the continental United States, Mexico, and Canada. Through a public-private partnership model involving federal, state, and local government, Burrell Aviation is repositioning regional and municipal airports that have been historically underutilized and currently operate outside of North America’s core supply chain. By bringing such airfield locations into the mainstream commercial network, Burrell Aviation provides a convenient, flexible, and cost-efficient alternative to major hub locations, where freight carriers are currently experiencing rapidly escalating price structures and congestion, delayed delivery times, and other inefficiencies. To meet the needs of its customers, Burrell Aviation enters long-term leases with municipally owned airports. In coordination with Burrell Aviation, these municipalities are dedicated to improving their airport infrastructure to accommodate a broad range of tenants through a sublease agreement structure. The company also manages the construction of “build-to-suit” facilities to satisfy each client’s specific needs.

Mr. Burrell and the Company formed Counterpoise, which will pioneer the research and treatment of technology dependency.

Counterpoise will provide therapeutic treatment and academic programming in the growing field of study related to technology dependency among adolescents and young adults who have been adversely affected by an overreliance on “screen time.”

The scope of assistance provided by Counterpoise relies on evidence-based treatment modalities to offer young adults the tools necessary to balance technology with, among other things, an appreciation for education, nature, spirituality, practical knowledge, nutrition, exercise, interpersonal connection, and the outdoors. For the inpatient portion of Counterpoise’s programming, The Burrell Group has acquired beautiful and remote properties in Vero Beach, Florida; Aspen, Colorado; and Taos, New Mexico, and is developing retreat centers at each site. Counterpoise will also offer a cutting-edge TeleCare product that will be used as an aftercare product and a version as a broad-based tool for the general public.
