If you read any of the Lewis and Clark Expedition writings, you will see they discovered the Native Americans were fighting fiercely, tribe to tribe.Whether people came to the North American Continent via a land bridge from Asia or via a ship from Europe, everyone "migrated" here for a number of reasons, food, escaping an enemy, more freedom, all encompassed in the word HOPE.The Europeans treated the resident Native Americans a LOT better than they treated those that were here before them.

A little bit about me:- I graduated with an architecture degree from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, and worked as an architect in Asia for 5 years.- I then transferred to real estate, working in business development for Jones Lang LaSalle for 11 years. - I have been working in the online marketing space for a little over 3 years, and have just recently decided to focus my efforts on video marketing for people involved in my 2 favourite subjects - building and real estate.I am really excited to be part of the Bigger Pockets community, to learn what is and is not working in terms of real estate marketing based on real efforts on the ground, and to add to the discussion from my knowledge whenever I can!
