Their stories.

Bruce Davies

Founder

Bruce Davies was born in New Mexico and was raised in Livermore, CA. He attended Washington State University and holds a BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management, with a minor in Business Administration.

After graduating college Bruce moved to Stockton, California where he became a Real Estate Salesman in 1974. In 1978 he became a Real Estate Broker and owner, which continues to this day.

Bruce and his wife, Elizabeth, purchased their first single family rental in 1971 and did not look back until they had a portfolio of over 40 rental homes. The couple managed, maintained and repaired each of the homes while working in their respective careers and raising a family.

In 1982 Bruce developed Edgewater Court in Stockton, CA. He oversaw the project from raw land through the final map and an eventual sale to a builder. After that he worked with numerous other developers on multiple projects.

In 2003 Bruce and his son, Matthew, decided to take a detour from single family homes and make the move into manufactured housing communities. They share a passion for affordable housing and proudly manage over 20 manufactured housing communities in California and Oregon.

Today Bruce continues to run his real estate brokerage with his partner, and also plays an active role in the managerial duties of Harmony Communities. He enjoys traveling with his wife and spending time with his granddaughters.

Matthew Davies

Principal & CEO

Leveraging his background as a property manager, Matthew Davies is trying to solve one of the most pressing issues of our time: lack of affordable housing. Through Harmony Communities, a business he started working for over 15 years ago, he is poised to make a big impact.

Born and raised in California and always an entrepreneur, Matthew's earliest memories are of watching his father manage rental properties. Later he helped to run and grow the family business.

Hard work and 80-hour weeks characterized Matthew's early career. During this time he developed a knack for prescience: seeing, understanding, and building successful companies based on emerging market trends. His first venture, an online retail establishment founded in 2002, grew fast, ending in a successful exit in 2010. His second venture grew equally fast.

However, for Matthew, the son of a successful real estate broker and developer, returning to his roots made sense, and today he is focused on scaling Harmony Communities. Taking the many lessons he learned from prior ventures, Matthew is working to find solutions to the housing crisis in California and other states.

Today Harmony Communities manages over 20 properties, close to 2,000 units, across California and Oregon, employs more than 50 people, and has almost $100 million dollars in assets under management.

Sherrie Johnston

Operations Manager

Sherrie Johnston attended California State University Sacramento where she initially went to school to become a nurse. While she always knew she wanted to help people, she quickly realized that the help she could provide would not come from an operating room. In 2010, Sherrie instead took a job at a real estate brokerage and fell in love with it.

In 2013 Sherrie got her Real Estate Salesperson license and decided to go back to school, this time on a new track. She graduated with a BS in business administration with a concentration in small business management.

Sherrie joined the Harmony team in 2013. She enjoys the group atmosphere, creating new processes, and being involved in activities that contribute to the smooth operation and forward momentum of Harmony Communities.

Sherrie's spare time consists of adventures, travel and good food with her husband, Eric, and serious snuggle time with her dog, Special Agent Gibbs.

Luke Vergara

Junior Regional Property Manager

Luke Vergara grew up in a household where sign language was used more often than the spoken word, an experience that shaped how he connects with the world. It taught him early on that communication takes many forms, and it instilled a lasting commitment to making sure everyone feels heard, understood, and included.

That foundation carried Luke through his education. He earned an AA in Communications from Diablo Valley College before completing a BA in Communications with a minor in Deaf Studies at Sacramento State, where he also played rugby from 2019 to 2022. The discipline and camaraderie of the sport still shape the way he shows up for his team today.

Before joining Harmony, Luke built his early career in front-facing sales, where countless day-to-day interactions deepened his curiosity about business and sharpened his talent for building genuine relationships. As Junior Regional Property Manager, he brings that same people-first approach to the residents and communities he serves.

In his downtime, Luke enjoys music, skateboarding, and working out, and he loves getting outdoors to camp, hike, and rock climb, ideally with family and friends along for the adventure.

"

After retiring, I was looking for a place where I could feel secure and enjoy my time. Harmony Communities gave me exactly that, an affordable home in a beautiful neighborhood. I love the peace of mind knowing the community is well maintained.
