Dennis Wise

Dennis began his career in 1966 as a plumbing contractor in Fairbanks, Alaska. His early success led him into multi-family development and construction, and he went on to develop and build over 1,500 apartments in Fairbanks. Since that humble beginning, Dennis has transformed the enterprise into a multi-faceted and multi-generational family office through its strategic investments in various real estate types.

Dennis is an active philanthropist and has built and donated buildings for the Fairbanks Community Food Bank, a 180 bed Rescue Mission and a 75 bed Wise Family Center in his hometown of Fairbanks. For their generous contributions to the community, Dennis and his wife Mary have been honored with numerous awards including the State of Alaska “Spirit of the Great Land” award in 2005 and the BSA Distinguished Citizen Award in 2007.

Dennis is an avid collector of hot-rod classic cars and motorcycles. Much of his collection of over 100 vehicles is proudly on display in Denali’s Scottsdale office and he never grows tired of giving tours and explaining the history of each vehicle. Dennis still actively participates in all Denali projects particularly as it relates to plumbing.
