Thomas Beyer was a computer scientist with a strong interest in business principles. He finished high school in 1978, went to the German air force as an officer candidate from 1978 to 1982, then finished his computer science degree (M.Sc.) in Munich in 1986. He traveled the world during those years, visiting and working in countries such as the US, Canada, Germany and South-Africa.

He finished his MBA in Edmonton, AB in 1988 and married his spiritual, life and value partner, Lynda that same year. We now have 2 beautiful children.

He has been the president of two rental pool boards and has been on several condominium boards since 1997. Prior to 2000 Thomas was in marketing, product management, software solutions sales and a software project manager, including 8 years with IBM and 6+ with an IBM business partner that he co-managed and later co-owned to sell IBM software and related consulting services. He has lived in the lower mainland in BC, in Toronto, Germany, South Africa and has lived in Alberta since 1995. He now calls Canmore, Alberta home.

Thomas founded Prestigious Properties in 2000 specializing in multi-family apartment buildings. Prestigious Properties has since grown into a group of companies or limited partnerships with a carefully selected small group of associates or co-owners. He believes in turning under-valued properties into Prestigious Properties, for the benefit of investors, tenants and communities. He currently manages over 90 million dollars of profitable, cash flow positive real estate assets, primarily apartment buildings with a total of over 1,250 suites in AB, BC, SK and TX. He is happily married with two young adult children. He invests his own money and that of other people to create wealth for himself, his co-investors and for the communities at large through improved property values, better buildings, creative marketing techniques, better HR policies and more ethical tenant and sub-contractor policies.
