Crooker’s career began in KPMG’s real-estate practice, where he spent eight years working primarily with publicly traded REITs. His accounting and finance background then carried into STAG’s growth as a public industrial owner. The company’s acquisition platform is a major part of its strategy: since its 2011 IPO, STAG reported deploying approximately $8.9 billion through acquisitions of 648 buildings, land parcels and development sites, totaling about 130.7 million rentable square feet through year-end 2025.
