Bob Wahl
Executive Vice President;COO

I was trained and educated for the ministry; but found a passion in business and Network Marketing. I was asked to go to Germany to start a new company selling household products. We later worked in Monte Carlo where I was the Executive Vice President of an International Company. We introduced Car Care merchandise and marketed them in more than 50 countries.

When I returned to B.C., I started in Real Estate and quickly became the top licensed Realtor in our local office for many years. Eventually I started my own very successful Real Estate company.

I founded an International Corporation that supported several private and public companies in their structuring, marketing and capital funding needs.

I have been married to my wife, Beverley for 50 years. We have three children and four wonderful grandchildren. We love to travel internationally as well as using our big Motor Home to travel North America.
