Team 2024 - Oakside Companies

Led by people who were the buyers first.

Investment banking, private equity, buy-side storage acquisitions, and a decade of storage transactions. It is also why a deal here can be an earn-out, a recapitalization or an entity sale rather than a straight sale of the real estate. Two people run this firm, and both of them work on your file.

Cameron serves as Founder & President of Oakside Companies, overseeing firm-wide operations, strategic direction, and all origination, marketing, and disposition efforts across the Company’s self-storage brokerage platform.

With a decade of specialized experience in self-storage investment sales, Cameron has executed billions of dollars in transaction volume spanning 30 states, advising both institutional developers and private owners through tailored marketing strategies designed to achieve the highest value and strongest terms available in the market.

Before forming Oakside, Cameron led the Self-Storage team at Berkshire Hathaway Commercial and previously served as a Senior Vice President with SVA, where he focused on investment sales, ownership, and management initiatives within the storage sector. Prior to entering commercial real estate, Cameron served as a Captain in the United States Air Force, leading cyber operations teams responsible for network defense and anti-hacking countermeasures supporting the nation’s satellite systems—earning multiple awards and commendations for leadership and mission excellence.

Cameron grew up in Tampa, Florida, and earned a B.S. in Financial Services from the University of Tampa and an MBA from the University of La Verne in California.

Outside out Oakside, Cameron enjoys fishing, scuba diving and spending time with his wife, Elizabeth, and their two children, Madelyn and Lucas.

Nolen serves as Managing Director for Oakside, overseeing firm-wide strategic direction, select client advisory assignments, and all tax-deferral advisory, underwriting and financial analysis initiatives for the Company.

With more than a decade of experience spanning Investment Banking, Corporate and Real Estate Private Equity, and Self-Storage Brokerage, Nolen has executed more than $1.5 billion in transactions across a diverse range of industries.

Before joining Oakside, Nolen spent nearly five years as Vice President of Acquisitions for a Denver-based self-storage private equity platform. His previous experience includes serving as a Private Equity Associate at a Chicago-based family office focused on Business Services and Aerospace & Defense investments. Nolen began his career in Investment Banking within the Global Consumer Group at a leading multinational investment bank.

He earned a B.A. in Finance from Michigan State University, graduating with High Honors.
