CORY LESTER

Cory quickly developed a passion for the Ethos community after becoming a presale member of our River North location in 2019. In 2022, he became a co-owner of the business, helping to create and deliver the vision of Ethos' expansion to Roscoe Village. 

Cory graduated from the University of Michigan with a BS in Kinesiology and a Master’s Degree from the Ross School of Business. At U of M, he was also a 5-year member of the varsity wrestling team and a 2015-16 NSCA (National Strength And Conditioning Association) All-American. As a lifelong athlete, he is passionate about team dynamics and fostering environments to inspire those around him toward manifesting their deepest ambitions. 

Outside of his role at Ethos, Cory is a Vice President of Global Risk Management at Goldman Sachs. He enjoys spending time with family, reading, and exploring new opportunities for entrepreneurship and community building.
