When Ken Umbarger Gets His Hands On Something, You Can Be Certain He’ll Invest Himself Completely.
It’s an incredible experience to build a house from the ground up which is why those who do this before putting up their houses for sale in Kelowna find it so hard to let go without the right guidance. And if you ask Ken Umbarger, it’s even more rewarding when you build a house from scratch with your three sons by your side.
A Bonding Experience
Having spent several years in commercial and residential development, Ken took a “break” from that business the only way he knew how. He opened his own construction company and employed his three sons, who were teenagers at the time. Ken not only wanted the opportunity to spend more quality time with them, he wanted to give them hands-on experience so they could ultimately build and renovate their own homes which would give them a head start should they ever decide to sell Okanagan real estate. Together, they learned everything they could about the process and constructed two houses from the ground up before focusing the business on renovations. More importantly, it gave them the opportunity to learn more about each other and forge and even stronger bond as a family.
Getting Involved
You see for Ken, nothing is more valuable than hands-on experience. Whether it’s family matters, hobbies, community involvement or professional accomplishments, he knows firsthand that any pursuit is more rewarding when you dig in and give every ounce of effort to achieve a goal.

With the Jaycees, Ken worked his way up to Senator status (the highest you can reach in the organization).
