Brian’s interest in real estate, entrepreneurship, and agriculture developed from a very young age on his family’s small grain and cattle farm in Argyle, Minnesota. The lessons Brian learned on the family farm continue to guide his professional practices as a Commercial Realtor today.
Upon completing his education at North Dakota State University, Brian held senior-level positions in banking, consumer services, and real estate, gaining invaluable experience and insights into the operation of both small and large businesses. Concurrent to his corporate career, Brian began his career in commercial real estate by acquiring an owner-occupied apartment complex in Fargo shortly after graduating from NDSU.
This early investment was just the beginning as Brian spent the next 25 years investing in single-family homes, multifamily properties, lease options, new home construction, fix and flips, lakeshore properties, short-term rentals, mortgage notes, farmland, and development land. His commercial real estate holdings have also encompassed a variety of commercial properties, including industrial spaces, warehouses, and retail properties.
