Hello,
I'm Oliver Carmichael. I grew up in northern Lafayette Parish and went to
school in Carencro. After completing college at the University of Southwestern
Louisiana, I worked in the oil and gas fabrication business for over 30 years. I now work
with Wildlife Land Group as a licensed real estate agent specializing in
finding that perfect piece of property for those seeking a rural home site,
farm, ranch, commercial, investment or recreational tract, large or small. My
background has allowed me opportunities in the expanding renewable energy
market, including wind, solar and now carbon capture. Through personal
experience, I've learned that owning property often leads to other
opportunities, both investment and recreational. As a property owner, one thing
that brings me joy these days is spending time with friends and family on a
dove or duck hunt. It's these times that remind me of the true, God-given
blessings of life. That is, enjoying time with others.
