Name of Your Company or Organization: Vision Properties Belize
About Me: My wife and I first visited in Placencia in 2001, when we were immediately struck by its untouched beauty, unique mix of pristine beaches, and easy access to Belize's interior, with its amazing beauty and adventure activities. This and more provided the basis for the formation of Vision properties, which is to enable others to experience the many unique things Belize has to offer.

In addition to managing my ever-increasing investments in Belize, I am a single-family residential developer with more than 25 years of successful business and real estate experience, ranging from large single family developments in the Dallas-Fort Worth market to successful ventures in technology and healthcare.

We believe that Placencia is transforming from a remote developing area to a growth market positioned to become a truly world class beach community and tourist destination.
