Meet the Team

Grant Barnhill believes in Denver’s revitalization. As someone who has been managing, developing and investing in the local Real Estate scene for over 30 years, Grant is a veteran of successful transactions and operations including hundreds of millions of dollars worth of apartment, industrial, and office projects. Since 1993 Grant has been at the forefront of Denver’s transforming scene and has built his career upon its buildings and neighborhoods in a way that has positively impacted the local communities. Mr. Barnhill attended New York University and the University of Colorado at Denver, and has been an active donor to numerous local non-profits. He is the founder of the Shift Foundation and lives in Denver with his girlfriend Sibila and their two children Max and Sophia.

In 1987, Grant began as a landlord representative at Fuller & Company, where he developed a unique marketing strategy to negotiate office leases for a portfolio of over a million square feet of commercial office space in the Denver area alone. His clients include the Arco Pension Fund, Wells Fargo Realty, Sun Savings, and the Resolution Trust Corporation, who have helped shape the Denver we know and love today. In 1991 he co-founded Libery Partners, Inc., a full-service tenant representation firm. He’s also provided corporate Real Estate consulting services for some of America’s largest companies including Hormel Foods, RR Donnelly & Sons,
CH2M Hill, and Woodward-Clyde Group, Inc. In 1995, Mr. Barnhill sold his interest in Liberty to form Barnhill Capital, a real estate investment firm where he continued to invest in his good works.

Between 1994 and 2000, Barnhill Capital devoted itself to acquiring properties in central Denver neighborhoods, and Grant’s firm managed due diligence, acquisition, equity placement, interior design, construction management, leasing, marketing, financial reporting, tax reporting, and ultimate disposition of dozens of properties. In 2002, Grant co-founded Boutique Apartments, a multifamily brand in Denver that has rehabilitated and stabilized more than twenty multifamily projects in urban Denver neighborhoods. Under Mr. Barnhill’s supervision, these buildings were completely renovated with a unique brand identity that transformed them from underperforming assets into a remarkable portfolio worth tens of millions in 2014. Since 2021, Grant has repositioned industrial buildings and converted them into personal warehouse units for business owners. These new units have been customized into flexible spaces for RV users, boat owners, collectors, and everyone in between. By offering personal and secure warehouses with unlimited access in Denver, Barnhill Capital has been able to put itself at the forefront of the needs of the expanding local business market.

Shift Workspaces was founded by Grant in 2012 based on a passion for community and a drive to personalize concierge-level services for career professionals. Shift opened its first
location in Denver’s Alamo Placita neighborhood at 4th and Corona Street, it’s second
community in the Golden Triangle in October 2016 and its third location on Main Street in
Downtown Littleton in July 2020. Since then, Shift has become a thriving community of over seven hundred strong, with entrepreneurs from all over the Denver area and beyond. Shift Workspaces continues to be deeply committed to community philanthropy and outreach, and all three Shift locations have produced strong returns for investors and have become important cornerstones of their neighborhoods. As Shift continues to expand its footprint in the Denver market, Mr. Barnhill has also considered regional expansion to bring the opportunities and growth of Shift Workspaces to other parts of the United States.

Her New York family has been in commercial property management for over 30 years, so she considers Shift Workspaces to be part of the family business. As Chief Operating Officer, Maggie has been able to demonstrate her unique combination of skills from the performing arts, customer service, advertising, and real estate, and her time with nonprofit organizations to make Shift all that it can be.

A lifelong ballet dancer, Maggie Clark was able to teach ballet and dance with various contemporary dance companies in the Denver area.

Morgan Trego is the Director of Culinary, Culture, and Engagement at Shift Workspaces. She has been a part of the Shift community for three years and has a passion for creating meaningful experiences and bringing communities together. Whether it be pouring a new wine, brainstorming a seasonal dish, curating a special cocktail, or celebrating someone’s successes, Morgan has a plan! She enjoys building a mindful, fun, and approachable culture in our spaces while exhibiting the Shift Workspaces brand and values.

Morgan believes that her love of hospitality, specifically culinary, comes from her upbringing. Morgans family is a big proponent of hosting special occasions, typically centered around the dinner table. Growing up, there was always something cooking, and it was her responsibility to set and create the welcoming and elegant tablescape. As she grew older, culinary contributions to dinner were encouraged, which she feels led her to her professional career in hospitality. After earning a Hospitality Management degree from Kent State University, Morgan made the move to Colorado to further pursue her professionalism.

As a certified Yoga Instructor through the Fort Collins Holistic School of Yoga, Morgan is often practicing yoga when she is not at work. She also enjoys skiing, hiking, curating new recipes at home, discovering local restaurants, or exploring creative interior design.

Creating a warm and hospitable environment through genuine hospitality is something Morgan aims to do each day. She’s enjoyed her time with Shift Workspaces as it has allowed her to experience meaningful moments with the Shift community. As the Culinary and Culture Department of Shift Workspaces continues to evolve, Morgan strives to keep building relationships and introducing the community to innovative offerings.

As the General Manager at Shift Workspaces, Morgan Lams knows a thing or two about journeys. Shift Workspaces has dedicated itself to working smarter and living better, and Morgan has spent the last few years seeking to balance the two both personally and professionally. She’s an expert at improving sales, catering to clients through customer interactions, and personalizing member experiences.

With a background in Retail Management, Morgan has worked hard to ensure that the customer is always cared for and that experiences come first. After spending a few months in the business, Morgan has helped foster meaningful connections with hundreds of people at Shift Workspaces and beyond. Her Assistant Sales Manager experience at Neiman Marcus Group and Dillard’s was where she learned how to support her team and provide memorable customer service. A graduate of Colorado State University, Morgan has a Bachelor’s Degree in Apparel and Merchandising that she has used to gain a better understanding of collaboration and design. While attending Colorado State, Morgan took crash courses on leadership in the workplace to help satisfy her curiosity about how to make businesses better. It was here that Morgan gained a deeper understanding of the importance of interoffice relationships, productivity, health, and happiness. In the years since, Morgan has only grown in her passion and drive to elevate businesses and build better workplaces, and in her General Manager role she has helped Shift Workspaces evolve into the incredible experiences they are today.

In her free time, Morgan enjoys time with her husband and family. They purchased a townhouse back in 2018, and the experience of being first-time homeowners in Colorado has influenced their personal and professional lives immensely. Morgan can’t imagine living anywhere but in Colorado, where she is able to enjoy her favorite activities such as skiing, camping, and shopping. In 2019 Morgan was granted the opportunity to travel to Germany for the first time, which fostered a new love of different cultures. Morgan has since made it a priority to experience everything the world has to offer, which has enriched her time at Shift Workspaces and opened her mind to all the possibilities that come with the General Manager role.

Morgan Lams is a big believer in the “Shift Experience” that centers coworking spaces on community, networking, self, and balances in work and life. Since becoming General Manager, Morgan has worked hard to build a place of inclusivity, so that the ecosystems of the community can flourish. Morgan works to bring sustainability, environmental consciousness, and ethics to the forefront of the Shift Workspaces experience. She is available on LinkedIn and Instagram.

Courtney Hart is a big believer in community. As General Manager at Shift Workspaces, Courtney has made it her passion to combine customer sales, service, and management together into a powerful tool to help her serve locally and make Shift the best it can be. Her background in sales and management made her a great candidate for the General Manager role, and she has since worked hard to make the position her own and elevate uncommon aspects of Shift that have helped the community and partners.

Courtney earned her Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Fashion and Retail from Columbia College in Chicago, with a minor in Purchasing and Merchandising. This has given her a unique perspective as General Manager, where Courtney has been able to flex her knowledge in customer relations and sales experience to really shine in the role. A TIPS-certified employee, Courtney has also undergone de-escalation training to help her work with difficult people and treat all customers and partners with aplomb. She spends time on LinkedIn and other social workspaces learning more about her community and the world abroad. When Courtney is learning new things about her position, she is rounding out her experience by reading Preferred Office Network, which offers insights into the flexible office industry.

The community remains Courtney’s primary passion, and she regularly practices community outreach and engages in social programs. She participates in One Table, an organization that hosts Shabbat dinner gatherings that are hosted by the local community. It’s here that Courtney is able to rub shoulders with friends and colleagues, and she loves to spend time practicing gratitude for all that she has. As someone with an excellent understanding of sales systems and platforms, Courtney is constantly on the lookout for ways to expand her knowledge but also improve her empathy and responsibility in community outreach. On the weekends she works as an Auctioneer Assistant for The Gala Team to help connect auctioneers and MCs with major Denver-based charities. Sometimes she helps connect regional charities as well and views the weekend position as an opportunity to expand her knowledge of what is happening in Denver and across the world.

Courtney excels at her position, but in her free time unwinds by spending time at local shelters and sanctuaries. She loves animals and has found that this aspect of volunteer work has been a balm on her soul, especially after a challenging week. Courtney’s empathy is a skill that has been fostered through years of personal and professional experience, and her time with Shift Workspaces has allowed her to improve her local network and beyond. She’s also available on LinkedIn.
