John Burke, who founded Milwaukee property development firm Burke Properties in 1968, never intended to turn it into a family business.

But when three of his five children showed interest, he created opportunities for each of them to join the company at his or her own pace, and in positions that suited their skills and interests. Wendy joined as a resident manager and eventually worked her way to her current role as president of the company. John Burke II was interested in the management side of the business, so he learned and now manages that side of the business. And Patrick had previous experience in the construction industry, and advanced to run that segment of the company.

Making a company into a family business can be challenging, but it has its rewards, Burke said.
