About us
“Big, Ugly and Cheap”
Pacific IOS Ventures is the culmination of our lifelong dream to create a real estate business that extends our respective family legacies. Both Andy and Dave grew up around the kitchen table talking about industrial properties, vacant buildings, old manufacturing plants, and landfills that were in desperate need of creative repositioning. “Big, ugly and cheap” was the motto. Wearing hard hats, driving forklifts and bulldozers were our summer jobs. And today we are expanding our family businesses into a cutting edge, west coast focused IOS platform.
