I grew up on the North Shore of Vancouver, which means I spent my formative years surrounded by mountains, ocean, and people who had very strong opinions about real estate. That part hasn't changed much.
Before I ever held a real estate licence, I spent over 30 years in municipal engineering and infrastructure. In my early years I was out on the trucks flinging garbage cans before sunrise. From there I worked my way through road and water main design, survey work, and hands-on time as an Engineering Technician, and eventually moved into GIS and spatial analysis, where I spent the better part of three decades reading landscapes and infrastructure for a living. I also, at one point, replaced a grinder pump in a sewer lift station. I tell you this not to impress you, but because it matters: I understand how land and infrastructure actually work, from the ground up, in the most literal sense possible.
Most agents see a home. I see the full picture, and I translate that into decisions that are strategic, grounded, and genuinely informed.
I spent 12 years working the North Shore luxury market, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, the kinds of markets that don't forgive guesswork. When Kelowna called five years ago, I answered. The Okanagan has a way of doing that to people, and honestly, once you've had a morning on the water and an afternoon in the wine country, the commute back to the city starts to feel a little absurd.
I'm also, admittedly, a bit of a tech and AI nerd. I embrace tools that give my clients a real edge, because in a market this competitive, why wouldn't you?
Outside of work, I get back to the North Shore as often as possible, to spend time with my kids and grandkids, catch up with previous clients, and yes, chase salmon when the timing works out. Those trips keep me connected to a market and a community I spent decades building relationships in, and the referrals that come from that trust mean more to me than any ad campaign ever could. Back here in the Okanagan, I'm attempting a respectable golf game (emphasis on attempting) and getting to the gym three or four days a week.
Pride in my work isn't something I perform. It's just how I operate.
