Company History
Kevin founded Brinkman Partners in 2005 as an integrated real estate company offering everything from brokerage to construction management services. In 2016, Brinkman Partners became two different companies – one focused on commercial real estate investment and the other focused on commercial construction. At that time, Kevin transitioned to Brinkman Real Estate full time, leading the company’s transition to real estate development and acquisitions. Today, Brinkman Real Estate has expanded throughout the Intermountain West and grown to nearly $780 million in deal volume, becoming a top buyer in this region.
Brinkman is a real estate investment company focused on executing core plus and value add acquisitions, offering comprehensive asset management, and providing deep investment expertise.

OneCanopy
The U.S. is short more than 30 billion trees to adequately address largescale deforestation from climate change and human-induced disturbances. In Colorado alone, there’s more than three million acres of reforestation potential and the largest tree producers can only meet 20% of the need.
Kevin has joined the effort to combat these issues by founding OneCanopy, Colorado’s first reforestation company. The company is a privately funded social enterprise that aims to engage in various facets of the reforestation pipeline, beginning with a seedling nursery growing plants that are native to the Rocky Mountain region.
