As a Belgian citizen growing up in Singapore, Rudy was fortunate to gain an international perspective from an early age. Upon emigrating to the United States on a student visa, he got offered an academic scholarship to pursue a PhD. in Economics at the University of Houston. Rudy became an active real estate investor during his first year in graduate school, completing his Master's degree in Economics in 1990. He has been a Permanent US Resident since 1991.
Rudy successfully completed his first multi-million dollar land development by age 29 in Atlanta, GA.

A third party builder sold the first $ 1,000,000 spec house for that market in the project.
