We have been friends ever since, and I have always seen him as a great leader and businessman. Today, we are partners in several real estate acquisitions and as always, he follows through on his commitments.

Well, not with Oliver. Oliver is incredibly astute, he makes smart investment decisions, and he is not afraid to put his money where his mouth is. I have total confidence in Oliver, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering doing business with him." - Casey Bishop (Investment Partner)
