Working in commercial real estate allows me to combine a fascinating network of relationships with  complex and creative skills. My favourite part of my career is earning the role as a trusted advisor to  clients, assisting them with future strategy and planning for their success. I believe that my clients  know and trust my involvement because I am personally invested in their success and the success  of our work together. This is not just a job to me; it’s about building relationships and creating real  estate solutions that leave the market wondering “how’d they pull that off?” I love seeing the tangible  results of my work – being able to walk around my city and tell the story of what I had a hand in  creating gives me tremendous satisfaction. 

Having been part of Vancouver’s tech community for over 24 years, I am more excited than ever to  witness the city’s growth as an emerging leader in the international tech community. With Vancouver  producing game-changing tech and talent at such an unprecedented rate, it’s been exciting to have  a role in helping the industry’s key players take their companies to the next level. 

I believe that a person’s growth is only limited by their mindset, and a big part of what drives me is  the fact that I will always have more to learn, more friends to make, more people to mentor, and  more stories to tell. I feel fortunate that the people I’ve met have been as passionate about their  work as I am, making this a very rewarding journey to be on. 

Outside of the office, I channel my competitive energy into racing; I try to sign up for something  every year. In the last 31 years, I have competed in over 200 races – from half marathons to  Ironman Canada and most recently, completing the ARC and rally, sailing across the Atlantic from  Gran Canaria to Grenada. I’m the father of two in a family of outdoor enthusiasts, who love mountain  biking, skiing, boating, trail running, camping, and hiking.
