Brett Copper has grown up in the self-storage industry. As Bob Copper’s son, he has worked with Self Storage 101, the country’s leading self-storage consulting firm, since he was a teenager. After college, Brett worked with CubeSmart to gain further insight into 3rd Party Management and Operations before joining Self Storage 101 full time.
For the last five years, Brett has worked with hundreds of self-storage owners and operators on management, marketing, acquisitions, feasibility, and training for facilities all over the United States. Seeing a growing need for alternative management solutions in the industry, Brett, along with the rest of the Copper family, created Copper Storage Management.
Today, Copper Storage Management has become the largest (non-REIT) 3rd party management company specifically catering to remote self-storage facilities. Copper Storage Management currently manages almost 200 facilities nationwide and continues to grow at an unprecedented rate. The Coppers have also acquired and sold large portfolios of unmanned facilities under the brand Copper Safe Storage.
