Founder Nic Applegate began his career at a young age in the United States Military, serving a total of 17 years in the armed forces. While serving as an Apache helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army, Mr. Applegate started his own construction company from the ground up. His construction company developed, constructed, and restored dozens of commercial and residential projects in Georgia and South Carolina.While running his construction company, Mr. Applegate found that his talents began to cross over into EB-5 projects involving the entertainment industry.  In 2008, Mr. Applegate established Gate Industries, bringing his financial expertise gained from the construction and entertainment sectors to the EB-5 arena.
