We moved to Kansas City in 1989 and have lived here ever since. I am Vice President for Challenger Sports Corporation www.challengersports.com.

Investment Experience
My experience in real estate investing began in 2001 with the creation of Powys Enterprises LLC (a Kansas based company) http://powysenterprises.inetusanow.net/ Powys Enterprises specializes in the purchase and rehab of distressed residential properties in the Kansas City metro area. Our portfolio currently consists of over 16 properties worth over $1,500,000, consisting primarily of single family properties and one 11 unit apartment building.
In 2004 I formed Creative Realty Solutions LLC, (a Kansas based company) and with three partners opened an Irish Pub and Restaurant in Branson, Missouri. Waxy O’Sheas (Below)opened it’s doors in 2006 http://www.waxyosheas.com/ . Waxy’s is a full service Irish theme pub and restaurant with the interior fixtures and fittings all imported from Ireland for an authentic theme.
From the success of this first location we recently opened (July, 2009) a second location in Shawnee, Kansas.
Our future investment goals are to invest in cash flowing commercial properties and have them professionally managed. We are seeking debt and/or equity partners who are interested in investing in the restaurants and/or the commercial ventures we are actively seeking.
