Bryan Hein, Founder

Bryan Hein is an expert builder with a passion for helping the world become a better place. Many years ago he found himself houseless; without family or friends to lean on for support. After pulling himself out of houselessness, he decided to raise money for all of the wonderful people out there that find themselves in such situations. He started flipping houses to single-handedly raise money to purchase land for Eden Plan. With his perseverance, guidance and several volunteers, he built the infrastructure currently on the land.
