Ian Ouwerkerk
Business Coach & Lead Facilitator
Ian’s fascination with bringing the academic and practical worlds together in his own life has resulted in a remarkable career. He obtained degrees in finance, international business, and the sciences during his seven-year stint at university, and then spent 20 years in the construction industry heavily involved in the general contracting, concrete, and landscaping sectors. As a College Pro franchisee, he also set every record for revenue, quality, profit, and tech productivity in the company’s near 50-year history.
As a Breakthrough Academy Business Coach & Lead Facilitator, Ian is motivated by his colleagues, the clients he serves, and the opportunity to change the contracting industry for the better. Having watched his father toil too many hours for not enough money, Ian is proud of the personal development and business improvements he facilitates.
In his spare time, Ian enjoys reading and writing, travelling, music, horses, boxing, snowboarding, photography, vehicles, and most sports – as well as world travel. He’s extremely committed to family and friends and keeps health his primary focus through fitness, faith, and continuous learning.
