Bio
Mike Ouellette grew up in a mid-sized town in British Columbia, Canada where learning to ice skate and play hockey at a very young age was a way of life for many kids. For Mike, it started at the age of four. Mike played hockey competitively throughout his youth, and by the time he was 18, he was a highly regarded junior player recruited by colleges all over the U.S. He chose Dartmouth College, the Ivy League school in New Hampshire, where he was an All-American his senior year and still holds the record for most games ever played for the school’s hockey team. After college, Mike’s dream of playing professionally came true. He played for New York Rangers affiliated teams in Hartford, Connecticut and Charlotte, North Carolina. Then in 2010, he packed his bags for Europe where he enjoyed a successful career playing for teams in Croatia, Germany and Austria.
While playing hockey, Mike developed a passion for real estate. He bought his first home in North Carolina right before the 2008 market crash. Despite the unfortunate timing, he was able to weather the storm, hold onto the home for 10 years and then sell it for a profit while learning valuable lessons along the way. He also bought a home on the Big Island of Hawaii where he moved when his playing days were over. While in Hawaii, he obtained his residential real estate license and planned for a future on the island. Through a series of life changes, however, he found himself moving to Los Angeles to be closer to family, and thus began his journey into commercial real estate. He joined The Klabin Company in 2015.
Mike credits much of his early success at The Klabin Company to his life as a professional athlete where he learned the values of being part of a team and developing relationships. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in English from Dartmouth College and enjoys an active lifestyle playing tennis, cycling and yes, hockey.
