“Love extravagantly, work usefully, live joyfully.” – Mark Warkentin

Mark Warkentin grew up deeply connected to his family and his faith. With his father a pastor, the family moved around as the need arose, bringing them to California and many different cities and towns in western Canada. Mark considered a degree in engineering but eventually felt called to law and attended school at the University of British Columbia.

Mark is a founding partner at Linley Welwood LLP, the current president of the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Abbotsford Police Board, a real estate investor and a long-term member of the Real Estate Investment Network. His legal practice covers a wide spectrum of expertise including the many areas and nuances of real estate, business transactions, financing, corporate, and commercial law. His work in public service feeds his desire to contribute, give back and be an active part of his community.

First and foremost, Mark is a committed husband of 23 years to Brenda and a father to two children all of whom do their own extraordinary work. He maintains the deep roots set down by his early life experiences as a part of the faith community in Abbotsford.

Mark has always had a natural curiosity which has prompted him to become an intentional and thoughtful person who takes deliberate action. Mark is quick to share his experiences, knowledge and insights with investors, clients and podcast audiences alike and finds joy in the contribution he can be to the people in his life.
