Markian Sich is the Founder and CEO of Active Duty Passive Income (ADPI), the go-to real estate education platform for the military community. Born in Ukraine and raised as a third-generation Ukrainian immigrant, Markian moved to the U.S. to attend the Naval Academy, where he earned dual degrees in Computer Science and Information Technology.
After serving 8.5 years on active duty as a Marine Corps helicopter pilot and Communication Strategy and Operations Officer (COMSTRAT), he transitioned into the Reserves and eventually became a veteran. His military career shaped his leadership style: trust but verify, empower others, and embrace challenges head-on.
Markian’s journey into real estate started as a way to secure financial freedom and quickly grew into a mission to help fellow service members do the same. Since its inception, ADPI has empowered tens of thousands of military families to build wealth through real estate, offering community-driven education and support.
Now, Markian is channeling his expertise into transforming the memory care industry, inspired by his family’s personal caregiving experiences. He’s passionate about bringing meaningful change to this space, combining modern technology with thoughtful care programs that improve lives.
Through it all, Markian stays grounded in gratitude, driven to make a difference for his family, his community, and the industries he touches.
