Todd Burkemper has worked hard since graduating college in 2011—and luck has followed him throughout his career as an app designer and senior software developer at Buildium. But while golden job opportunities propelled him forward, he never stopped looking back, watching over his younger brother.

Todd had a home built in Wentzville, Missouri, two years after graduation and though finances were tight for awhile with a house and car payment and student loan debt, he was determined to succeed.

Although six years apart in age, Todd and Alex have always been the best of friends. When Alex graduated from college in 2017, Todd invited him to live at with him, 30 miles outside of St. Louis, instead of moving back home with mom and dad.
