ANDREW WELKER

Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Founder and CEO of W Properties, Andrew Welker, is an avid adventurer—whether flying helicopters, captaining boats, advancing his scuba diving skills or fly fishing, he’s always looking for the next adrenaline rush.

The same daring passion has been applied to Welker’s business life.

He bought his first investment property at just 23-years-old, and in 2008, in the height of the recession, he became a founding partner at New Western Acquisitions.
Welker led the charge in growing the company into one of the largest home buyers in the nation for over nine years, serving as CEO for the majority of his tenure.
