Meet Ivan

Ivan Poulter was raised on his Great Grandfather Alexander John Percival Charles Wright’s vast farm, The Grange, a sprawling 6,600-acre estate just north of what was then Gwanda in Southern Rhodesia. Surrounded by the rhythms of farm life, he developed a deep appreciation for hard work, resilience, and craftsmanship—qualities that would shape his future endeavors.

As a young man, Ivan ventured to South Africa, where he built a successful career in the corporate world, specializing in computers. However, his passion for faith and service led him to transition into Christian ministry. Over the years, he traveled extensively, ministering in towns and cities across eight countries, while also serving in leadership roles within South African churches.

In 1998, Ivan and his family immigrated to the United States, where he pastored until 2004. After retiring from full-time ministry, he channeled his hands-on skills and keen attention to detail into a handyman service—one that frequently evolved into full-scale renovation projects. His perfectionist nature ensures that every job is done with excellence, reflecting his commitment to both craftsmanship and integrity.

Today, Ivan resides with his wife, Dana, and their son, Nathaniel, on a peaceful acreage in North Edmond, Oklahoma. With his South African brogue and warm, engaging personality, he is a captivating conversationalist who thrives on connecting with people. Whether in ministry, business, or home projects, Ivan’s greatest joy remains helping others and making a difference in their lives.
