ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, August 2, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Daily Record has named Kenneth Bacon, Managing Partner at RailField Partners to its 2022 listing of Influential Marylanders.

Forty-eight Influential Marylanders were selected by the editors of The Daily Record for their significant contributions to their respective fields and for their leadership in Maryland in the following areas: civic leadership, communications, education, finance, freestyle, general business, health care, law, philanthropy, real estate and technology.

RailField, which was founded in 2013 by Bacon and his two partners, Jon Siegel and Todd Watkins, is a well-established and substantial player in the multifamily industry, possessing the institutional capabilities and national experience of a large firm while maintaining the personal relationships and responsive approach which have been the firm’s hallmark since its founding.

Prior to 2013, Bacon spent 19 years at Fannie Mae, most recently as Executive Vice President and Head of the Multifamily Business. During his tenure, he oversaw a portfolio of $195 billion in assets.

In addition, Bacon currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Welltower, a publicly traded REIT, as well as serving on the board of directors of Comcast, Ally Financial, and Arbor Realty Trust.
