Card Reflects on Relationships and Lessons Learned at Duke

Rarely will one be the smartest person in a room, the most athletic one on a field or court and that is perfectly alright. It’s about how you use the skills already in your repertoire and your ability to work with others that can ultimately help determine success or failure.

Former Duke All-American defenseman Stephen Card will attest to this, from his time as a Blue Devil to his early professional life, and what he now teaches his own children and looks for when hiring young people entering his field of real estate.

In his second year as the Principal and Director of Investments for Rubenstein Partners, a private equity real estate firm he has been with for 13 years, Card has used the daily lessons he learned from his head coach Mike Pressler, assistant coach Joe Alberici and teammates to launch his success.
