Lincoln identified the opportunity to add Sharp, who has the background and knowledge to provide strong operational capabilities, and an unrelenting desire to provide the very best in customer service.

“We simply could not pass up the opportunity to welcome Joe Sharp to our Lincoln Military Housing team,” said Jarl Bliss, president, Lincoln Military Housing. “He brings more than 35 years of success in property management across the country and, for the past five years, he has performed in a stellar fashion as a project and portfolio director to the U.S. military on or near bases in Kentucky, Texas and four other states.
