A Developer Respected and Admired

When asked to write about my favorite developer or someone who I admire, the first person who comes to mind is my Dad. He is someone that has been involved or spearheaded numerous different developments. Whether it be a single family community or the creation of a two surface acre retention pond, he does it to his best ability.

He is someone who develops and creates things out of a passion for the land. His will to create something that will be admired and used for years to come is why he is excellent at what he does.

Over the years he has instilled in me his favorite words of wisdom, “anything that is worth doing, is worth doing right.” This is something that resonates in all that he does. He has always been a developer and a laborer or steward of the land. He has helped in the development of golf courses throughout the Rocky Mountain Region by laying the ground work and placing the sod.

Once he was able, he started to develop small single family communities in our home town. Emerald Reserve is the name of the subdivision and he put in the best drainage system and laid the best ground work in town! All 18 lots have been sold and built on.

He takes on selective projects and loves to develop lakes and water features to accentuate the natural beauty of the land. He has a knack and vision that is unparalleled. His ability to see what can be done and do it, is something most people dream of. If you approached him today he would say he is not a developer, rather a fine tuner. He is the reason why I love real estate and appreciate it.
