HI, I'M
ETHAN
FERNHABER
I'm the founder of the three sister organizations that make up Restore Hope Indiana. I'm passionate about restoring hope by creating and transforming communities in Indiana. The grandson of Polish immigrants escaping World War 2, I started my first business with a $20K home equity loan. My own story is one that of "exceedingly and abundantly more." (Ephesians 3:20) From meat cutter, to banker, to becoming a landlord of a double-wide in rural Indiana, to a starting a development company, house factory, and management entity, I have poured out my life to see hope restored in the lives of those we touch.

ETHAN'S
PERSONAL
JOURNEY
When I started my first company in 2003, my focus was simply to make money. I eventually accomplished my goals for asset accumulation only to find it a deceptive mirage. Thankfully, God changed my heart and priorities and gave me freedom through surrender. These days, I see my businesses as an opportunity to restore hope in hearts and lives. While we certainly operate profitable businesses that bring income and investment returns to our partners, we no longer just focus on land development, modular construction and property management. We simultaneously work to bring physical, vocational, emotional and spiritual health to those we serve.
​
The future is bright! We are building a housing ecosystem from start to finish to impact working families in our state. Along the way we're joining with other like-minded investors who believe in our mission and want both a return on investment and a lasting impact.
​
Won't you join us?
