  • Title
    Special Advisor to the Head Coach
A former schoolmate of head coach Fran McCaffery at the University of Pennsylvania, Michael Fink received his undergraduate degree from Penn in 1984 and was a member of the Quakers’ JV basketball team. He then attended George Washington University Law School and received his law degree in 1987.

Mike practiced law in suburban Philadelphia, specializing in real estate and finance. In 1993, he left the field to become a founding partner of Preferred Real Estate Investments, a real estate development company based in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, which he retired from in 2000 to become an assistant boys’ basketball coach at Norristown High School.

In 2005, Fink founded Covered Bridge Capital, a legal finance company based in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, where he continues to serve an advisory role.  In 2009, he founded and was Chairman of the Board of Directors of CBC Settlement Funding, which was sold to a public company in 2012. After the sale, Mike moved his family to Florida and founded ProMed Capital, a medical finance company based in Fort Lauderdale which was sold to a strategic competitor in 2020. In 2020, Mike founded Opportunity Zone Fund Investors, where he currently serves as Managing Partner and oversees the operations and investments of the fund.

Fink’s passion is basketball: he coached high school basketball for more than 15 years, including as head boys’ coach at Kennedy Kenrick High School in the Philadelphia Catholic League, and as head coach of the Classics AAU basketball team. A former minority owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, Fink was also a co-owner of the Iowa Energy, an NBA Developmental League team, where he also served as Director of Scouting.

Mike has also been active in his local community through his service as a board member for the Montgomery County Opportunities Industrialization Center; the Norristown Police Athletic League; and the Montgomery County Industrial Development Authority.
