As a Junior High School Counselor in his mid-20's, Dick started dabbling in business.  His first attempt was an option on a 5 acre commercial parcel along I-405 to build the 1st mini-storage on the east side of Lake Washington. King Co imposed a 2 yr moratorium on new construction but with a taste for  business,  he moved back to Idaho and the family farm when invited to purchase 50% of a fertilizer and Chemical Company.  As a serial entrepreneur,  he bought and sold a carwash, quick lube, mining company, commercial interior construction company and a sign company.   He also co-founded a national trucking business building it from 1 to 500 trucks operating in 38 states.   

Over the years he has owned and operated a national SaaS document collaboration service for construction documents and other related internet based businesses.   Currently he is working on a mobile app for real estate, medical and financial application. 

With a grown family of 4,  3 who are in real estate businesses,  he saw a great opportunity with eXp Commercial, a $3B+ virtual company, to get into business and real estate brokering.  
 
Much of Dick's experience prepares him to come along side of other business owners because he has been "in the trenches" where, as a hands-on owner,  he has managed, built, bought and sold, negotiated lease issues/conflicts and basically been under the structural,  management,  financial and investment "hood".   In addition to his own businesses, he did business consulting for several years for small (over $1M to $50M) companies.

In some ways Dick says business brokering  is like coming full-circle because it seems like much of  his earlier life experiences were spent in preparation for this later life opportunity. 
Youth may be admired for vigor, but gray hair gives prestige to old age.    Proverbs 20:29 MSG

What Our Clients Are Saying

Allen and Dick are resourceful, knowledgeable and honest."
