MEET THE TEAM

  • TREVOR HOWARD

    Trevor has a diverse background spanning engineering and real estate. With experience managing large-scale government projects constructing nuclear reactor structures and missile silos, his expertise in delivering complex solutions is unmatched.

    Born and raised in the Salem area, Trevor pursued his passion for physics while playing basketball at Linfield College. He later transferred to Oregon State University, graduating with a degree in mechanical engineering.

    Shortly after graduating college Trevor ventured into real estate investing, quickly realizing his innate passion for the industry and helping others succeed. While still working as an engineer, he obtained his real estate license and expanded his property portfolio while assisting clients in residential and commercial real estate transactions. Eventually, his passion led him to transition full-time into the real estate sector.

    By the age of 25 Trevor had accumulated a $15,000,000 real estate portfolio consisting of many asset types. Trevor had become well known in the field for his ability to analyze investments, structure deals creatively using different financing strategies, and solving complex real estate problems. This skill set led him to the creation of Vesta Solutions.

    In his free time Trevor enjoys mountain biking, playing tennis and basketball, catching up with friends, and attempting physical challenges. Some of those challenges include continuously hiking up and running down a 700’ hill to reach 29,029’ of elevation gain (equivalent to Mt. Everest), climbing South Sister, Broken Top and Mt. Bachelor in one go while running in-between them, attempting to run 100 miles, and attempting to break the 24 hour pull up record.

  • DANE MCKINNEY

    Dane was born in Texas, but his upbringing took place in Salem. Although his parents and siblings eventually returned to the South, Dane found his true sense of belonging in the Willamette Valley. The community, culture, and climate of the area were integral to his identity, making it a place he couldn't imagine leaving.

    During his time at Oregon State, Dane pursued a degree in Finance while working for a private wealth advisor, fulfilling his desire to explore the world of investments. However, he yearned to work with something more tangible while still being a sound investment. Thus, he co-founded a pest control business with some close friends. After two years, Dane realized that he needed to find a balance that aligned with his aspirations.

    That's when Dane made a deliberate decision to delve into the realm of commercial real estate, specializing in Multifamily investment properties. He chose this industry and asset class with the intent to assist others in achieving what he had done—learning to invest in tangible and scalable assets at an individual level. Dane's ultimate goal was to empower others to create wealth through investing in income-producing assets that they could directly impact. He aspired to forge meaningful connections with like-minded individuals who shared the desire to enrich the community they called home.

    Recognizing that mutually beneficial relationships with a common goal could bring positive change, Dane welcomed the opportunity to help others in their endeavors. He understood the importance of working together to make the community a better place for everyone involved. If anyone sought assistance in pursuing their investment dreams or contributing to the betterment of the community, Dane eagerly offered his support and expertise.
