About Us

Troy Hoekstra, Ph.D.

Owner of United Development Solutions LLC

BA in Marketing/Management (Concordia University, St. Paul)

MBA with a concentration in finance.

Ph.D. in Business (Concordia University, Chicago)

Until 2001, Troy worked for three (3) publicly traded companies in both management and executive roles. In his last role as an executive with a publicly traded company, he had 300 direct report employees, budget accountability of over $130 million annually, and managed 90 office locations in 18 different states.

In 2001 Troy left the public sector and started his own company, which focused on business development, primarily in real estate. Since that time, he has been involved in numerous real estate projects in the five-state area surrounding Minnesota. The total of these projects is in excess of $200 million.

Troy enjoys spending time with his family, boating on Lake Superior, flying a single-engine Cessna, scuba diving, and investing time supporting JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). He is a recently retired firefighter from the volunteer department in Sartell, MN.
