Chip Conk has proven to be a natural-born leader. Conk is at the top of his game as president and chief executive officer of Montecito Medical Investment Company (MMIC). Montecito Medical Investment Company is a Santa Barbara-based, privately held real estate company that specializes in acquiring and developing medical facilities, including hospitals, surgery centers and office buildings. Mr. Conk and the other dedicated team of professionals at Montecito Medical Investment Company understand how the medical business works, making them better able to serve their clients. MMIC also has other offices in the U.S. In the year 2006, Montecito Medical was deemed the second fastest growing medical-related real estate company in the United States.

When Mr. Conk was attending the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) in the early1980s, Chip put together a low-budget calendar. It turned out, Chip's calendar idea was a success because Conk's fellow UC Santa Barbara students purchased the calendar. At that moment, Chip decided to go into business outside of the UC Santa Barbara campus. Chip founded Day Dream Publishing and headed up a team that consisted of his sister, Joellyn, and his brother, Chris. At first, the trio, led by Chip, created non-specific type calendars. Then, as the company grew, the Conks were able to use images from the likes of animated characters from both Disney and Warner Bros., sports figures from the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball and the National Football League, popular television shows, musical heavyweights and supermodels, including Cindy Crawford. This was yet another example of how one of Mr. Conk's ideas became a success. The Conks proved to be a good team and are still working together today.
