Stan Van Vleck always had a drive to succeed and a mind for business. He grew up in a cattle ranching family and had his eyes set on being a part of the family business but unfortunately, old school tradition shut him out of that opportunity as he was not the first born son in his family and didn't quite fit the mold his father wanted him to fit.
After being told several times by his father that he could not be a part of the family business, Stan went on to pay his way through college and law school and began building an investment portfolio that would give him the ability to eventually buy out his family and finally take over the family ranching company after his father’s passing.
Today his vision has grown the company to include a commercial real estate company and soon an investment fund with the hopes of creating a more dynamic and sustainable family business for future generations.
