Elevating International Homebuilding Standards

Brian's work is driven by a passion for sustainable wealth creation and community building, emphasizing human impact over simple profit. Through disciplined risk assessment and conservative stewardship, he has structured investments to protect every investor dollar while achieving dependable returns.

Educated at Brigham Young University with both bachelor's and master's degrees in accountancy and information systems, Brian entered real estate management straight out of college. This foundation gave him hands-on experience he later channeled into bold entrepreneurship across homebuilding, multifamily development, and capital management.

In 2000, Brian and his wife launched Challenger Homes from their Colorado Springs garage, reflecting their shared mission of making life better for customers, employees, trade partners, investors, and communities. Under his leadership, Challenger Homes became one of Colorado's premier private builders, constructing thousands of homes recognized for customer satisfaction and attainable pricing that helps families from diverse backgrounds achieve homeownership.

Building on this success, Brian founded Goodwin Knight LLC to focus on for-rent communities. The company has developed thousands of rental units across multiple states, using efficient construction methods to address critical housing shortages while creating vibrant, well-planned neighborhoods that support long-term community stability.

Brian also established All Pro Capital in 2009 as a platform for sustainable real estate investments that leverage the unique combination of current cash flow and long-term asset appreciation. His approach views real estate as a tangible, financeable path to shared prosperity, always beginning with a careful evaluation of potential downside risk before pursuing upside opportunity.

In 2023, Brian's vision expanded globally with the founding of MLB Worldwide, a transformative initiative dedicated to delivering attainable housing solutions to underserved regions around the world. Through partnerships with international managing partners such as Jolly B Company Limited in Ghana, MLB Worldwide constructs efficiently built homes and rental units tailored to local market needs, each aligned with the Making Life Better pledge for every stakeholder.

Across Challenger Homes, Goodwin Knight, National Builder Group, All Pro Capital, and MLB Worldwide, Brian's portfolio has housed tens of thousands of people and fueled billions of dollars in economic activity. He continues to pioneer the next era of global homebuilding with a simple guiding truth: making life better, one home and one relationship at a time.

A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Brian prioritizes family and channels his success into philanthropy through initiatives such as the Making Life Better Foundation and other charitable efforts. His organizations champion work-life balance, employee well-being, and community engagement, reflecting his belief that true wealth is measured in stronger families and healthier communities, not just financial returns.

Born and raised in Colorado Springs, Jacob completed his first home sale at age 16 when he stepped in to show a new home for a builder who could not attend an appointment. That early success revealed his natural ability to connect with customers, understand their needs, and guide them confidently through one of life's most important decisions.

At 18, Jacob earned his real estate license and joined the largest new home sales company in the United States, New Home Star, where he refined his skills in sales, client service, and market analysis. He later served a two-year volunteer mission in Chile, becoming fluent in Spanish, deepening his cultural empathy, and strengthening his lifelong commitment to helping people become more self-reliant.

After returning home, Jacob pursued studies in finance, family life, and Spanish at Brigham Young University, blending financial acumen with a people-centered approach. Over the past decade, he has participated in more than two thousand real estate transactions in roles spanning brokerage, construction, property management, leasing, and lending, and has assisted with land acquisition for builders, schools, and homebuyers.

Jacob's experience ranges from residential buyers and sellers to new construction homes and managed rental portfolios, giving him a comprehensive view of the housing lifecycle. As owner and employing broker of Bahr Properties, an innovative brokerage in Colorado Springs, he delivers personalized, high-touch services that emphasize trust, transparency, and long-term relationships.

His expertise in sales and negotiation has led to strong client outcomes and outstanding reviews, and he has trained and consulted with builders and sales teams across the United States, sharing proven strategies for excellence. Jacob brings this deep sales and customer-experience background to MLB Worldwide, helping refine the homebuyer journey and supporting partner builders in serving their markets more effectively.

With several years of experience as a mortgage loan originator, Jacob understands the financing side of homeownership and helps MLB Worldwide builders structure financing solutions for their buyers. His financial knowledge allows him to bridge the gap between lending requirements and buyer goals in a practical, supportive way.

As an Accredited Financial Counselor (AFC), Jacob volunteers his time to assist individuals with personal finances and the process of becoming financially self-reliant. He has counseled hundreds of people at different stages of their financial journey and remains committed to Making Life Better for everyone he serves, whether through housing, lending, or financial education.
