Investing in Enduring Prosperity

Mr. Croci’s 53-year business career has spanned many facets of the real estate and oil & gas industries. Mr. Croci received his first real estate license in 1970 in Iowa. Since then, he’s held brokerage licenses in Iowa, Illinois, Wyoming and Colorado, where he’s been an active broker and developer. During his tenure in real estate, he was also an officer and director of Alpha Energy, Inc. from September 2013 to December 2017 (resigned December 2017). A graduate of Iowa State University, he has been actively involved in the brokerage, sales, leasing, development, and construction activities of, or provided consulting services on hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of development properties, most recently in Northern Colorado, including a wide variety of project types.

He also has extensive experience with oil & gas marketing and oil operating companies. During his days with Arrowstone Petroleum, he was actively involved with the marketing of southern Illinois water flooding oil projects. Arrowstone’s sister company, Petren Resources was actively involved with deep drilling projects in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle areas. These activities included participation in gas and oil drilling programs that involved multiple deep drilling rigs capable of drilling 18,000 feet. His focus was on marketing renovated, reworked and improved old producing Marathon fields. This focus included a major emphasis on waterflood projects where old producing oil fields were reworked to improve production via waterflooding the permeable sandstone formations.

As president of his own professional management firm, Wolverine Management Group, Inc., Mr. Croci oversaw as many as twenty other entities including corporations, limited liability companies and limited liability limited partnerships, with many still active.

Mr. Croci grew up in Iowa, having been born in Des Moines, Iowa where his childhood was spent in a small town just west of Des Moines on the family farm where he learned good family values and a strong work ethic. Both reasons are why his companies have always out performed other small offices working in the same fields. Getting the job done is not a new or strange concept to Mr. Croci.

William J. Johanningmeier was born in Clinton, Iowa and grew up in Dubuque, Iowa. He spent a lot of time on his uncle’s farm near Lost Nation, Iowa working alongside his cousins and uncles. His time on the farm was the basis for learning strong work ethics and sound family values that propelled him to a successful career in finance and real estate. Mr. Johanningmeier graduated from Colorado State University in 1972.

After graduating from Colorado State University where he attended CSU on a football scholarship, and after having spent some years in the National Football League with the Packers and Broncos, Mr. Johanningmeier pursued his part time college business of financial services and expanded further into insurance and financial planning earning his Certified Financial Planning certificate and owning his own securities firm for over 12 years.

In 1984 he decided to pursue a career in real estate. With his wife Debby they opened JMeier, Inc. to focus on marketing community subdivisions throughout Northern Colorado and over time was successful in doing so in 17 such communities. He holds many accreditation certificates within the industry and has a large following of grateful clients.

As a strong community leader and active church member he has during the same time been in multiple successful Northern Colorado development projects including High Pointe Estates, Steeplechase, Cottonwood Shores and Riverlake Estates to name a few. Along with Mr. Croci, Mr. Johanningmeier recently completed a 75 acre development in Fort Lupton, Colorado called Lupton Village. These, along with numerous well known signature commercial real estate transactions with national and regional clients, have made Johanningmeier a common name in Northern Colorado real estate for decades.
