From Vacation to Owner

I wrote this book about what it takes to buy, build and run a home in Mexico. It comes from my own experience here, including the things I had to figure out as I went.

Experience
from doing.

I've owned and operated businesses in dairy farming, feedlots, construction, drainage, excavation, trucking, gravel, composting, flooring and cabinetry. I've also developed property, including a mobile-home park in Canada and a home in Mexico.

Several of those businesses ran at the same time. I was managing people, coordinating projects and deciding where I was needed most. That experience shapes how I approach my work today, whether I'm building something, working with technology or helping a client think through a property decision.

Work with me.

I take on a small number of consulting clients throughout the year. If you're looking at a move to Mexico, buying a place or planning a property project, I can help you work through the decisions and the steps that follow.

Tell me what you're considering and where you could use a hand. We'll talk through what you need and how we can work together.
