John David Lindsey, the son of Lindsey & Associates, Inc. founder Jim Lindsey was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in February 1971. He later graduated from Fayetteville High School in 1989 and the University of Arkansas in 1994. After a brief mini-tour professional golf career, John David joined Lindsey & Associates in 1996 as General Manager. Since 1999, he has served as Principal Broker and has been instrumental in the company’s growth. John David says, “Working for the company has been the professional honor of my lifetime. I’m eternally grateful for my father, JW Gabel, and everyone who has contributed to Lindsey & Associates' success.” Outside the office, John David enjoys spending time with his wife, Brooke, and their six children, as well as cheering for the Razorbacks and golfing.

Zack Kifer is a Northwest Arkansas native and graduate of the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas, he began his commercial real estate career as a junior in college and has now spent over 12 years in the business. Zack’s focus has been on Landlord and Tenant Representation across the Retail & Office sectors, while also handling Investment & Land Sales for large homebuilders, multifamily developers, and owner/users throughout the market. After eight successful years at Moses Tucker Partners, where he became a partner, Zack co-founded Genesis Commercial—a firm dedicated to bringing a fresh, relationship-driven approach to commercial real estate in Northwest Arkansas. In addition to brokerage, Zack owns The Sod Store, a second-generation family business he purchased from his parents six years ago. While not involved in day-to-day operations, he has built and empowered a strong leadership team that runs the company.

Palmer Hays is a Northwest Arkansas native and has successfully represented clients in a variety of manners. Still, his specialty lies with industrial tenant and landlord representation, industrial sale leasebacks, and commercial land. “I’ve always believed that the pathway to assisting our clients in a first-class fashion is done best through a 24/7 pulse on property values, market activity, and the movement of capital.” He feels that Northwest Arkansas has much runway to grow the industrial product type as the community continues to evolve. Palmer attended Wichita State University and Oral Roberts University where he studied finance and played collegiate golf. He brings the same focus and attentiveness required to be a Division one athlete to the workforce to add value to his client's commercial real estate endeavors.

Alan Cole is widely recognized as the leading retail broker in Arkansas and a driving force behind some of the region’s most high-profile retail developments. He played a pivotal role in brokering the landmark Topgolf projects in both Northwest Arkansas—where this event is being held—and Little Rock, highlighting his expertise in bringing nationally recognized brands to the local market. Since joining the firm that is now Colliers | Arkansas in 2003, Alan has specialized in tenant representation, development consulting, leasing, and land sales and acquisitions across Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Mississippi, and Tennessee. A lifelong resident of Northwest Arkansas, he combines deep local knowledge with extensive regional and national relationships, making him a trusted advisor to landlords, developers, and tenants alike. His track record of market leadership and deal-making excellence has established him as a premier resource for national retailers and developers seeking strategic growth throughout the Mid-South.
