Our team

With extensive experience in land development and vertical construction, Wayne is responsible for managing complex, multi-phase communities from pre-construction through completion. His role includes oversight of grading operations, infrastructure installation, subcontractor coordination, scheduling, and cost control, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards.

Wayne works closely with ownership, consultants, lenders, and public agencies to navigate entitlement requirements, maintain compliance, and drive operational efficiency across all projects. His hands-on leadership style and deep understanding of field operations allow him to proactively identify risks, solve problems, and keep projects moving forward in demanding regulatory environments.

Known for his accountability, responsiveness, and results-driven approach, Wayne plays a critical role in executing Corman Leigh's vision of delivering well-planned, high-quality communities.

From complex environmental issues to cost saving construction techniques, Mr. Boggs brings a wealth of building acumen and understanding to the Corman Leigh Companies team. Mr. Boggs started his distinguished career in construction with a hammer in his hand as a carpenter's apprentice. Drawing from a strong work ethic and disciplined character, a by-product of his service in our nation's military, his passion for the building industry resulted in rapid promotions. He was soon pursuing entitlements and, not long after, was promoted to Regional Construction Manager for a large builder in Southern California where he supervised the construction of 3,000 units.

Because of Mr. Boggs' "ground up" experience, he possesses invaluable insight regarding all phases of development and construction. Some of Mr. Boggs' accomplishments include: successfully administered a $6,000,000 private assessment district for infrastructure on a 600-acre mixed-use development project; initiated complex environmental processing for a 250-acre development with the US Army Corps of Engineers and California Dept. of Fish and Game for the mitigation of wetlands and endangered species; developed a construction sequencing method capable of producing individually customized homes with varying floor plans while achieving delivery schedules similar to production-based tract homes.

Mr. Boggs is a proud member of the American Legion, the International Code Council and holds a California State Contractor's License.

His background includes positions with home builders whose annual revenues exceed $50 million. Mr. Thingvold is seasoned in all aspects of accounting and financial reporting and is adept in the preparation of consolidated financial statements, analysis for investors, facilitation of audits and government reporting.

Integrity is the cornerstone of Mr. Thingvold's work ethic and his commitment to accuracy is reflected in all aspects of his work and throughout the staff he manages. Mr. Thingvold holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Indiana State University.

He earned his Bachelor of Arts degrees in Economics and Chemistry, magna cum laude, from Harvard University, and his Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School. Mr. Kashani has practiced real estate law in California since 1989, representing some of the state's largest private homebuilders in all aspects of real estate development and financing.

His practice extends beyond California to include work in Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, and Colorado, as well as international matters. He has also argued a case before the Supreme Court of Nevada. Since 2006, Mr. Kashani has served as corporate and litigation counsel for Corman Leigh, where he provides strategic legal guidance across a broad range of complex real estate and business matters.

He leverages his extensive experience in real estate investment, finance, and operations to support strategic growth initiatives and capital formation. Prior to joining Corman Leigh, Don co-founded Sunwood Ventures in 2008 and served as Chief Executive Officer, where he was instrumental in identifying opportunities and driving value through disciplined investment and strategic execution.

Earlier in his career, he spent more than three decades with The Corky McMillin Companies, where he was a key member of the senior management team that helped grow the organization into a $3 billion real estate enterprise. He served on the Executive Committee overseeing all divisions, including land development, commercial, homebuilding, realty, and capital markets.

Don's experience spans virtually every facet of real estate, including acquisitions, entitlements, development, finance, asset management, and operations. He has structured corporate bonds, project-level debt, and equity transactions, and has played a leadership role in corporate strategy, risk management, and large-scale development initiatives.

He previously served on the Board of Directors of the San Diego Barnabas Group and is a former member of the Appraisal Institute, where he held both MAI and SRA designations, among the highest credentials in the appraisal profession.
