I was born and raised here in St.Catharines and absolutely love everything about Niagara! My passion for the area started very young while exploring the natural wonders of the area and very much enjoying everything our region has to offer from arts and culture to recreational pursuits and entertainment. Now in my adult years as a husband and father of three wonderful kids it has only escalated my love for the area and constant appreciation for how lucky we are to live in such a great community. The love for where I live shines through to the work I do as a real estate professional and allows me to very much enjoy what I do for a living!
As one of Niagara’s top performing independently operating Realtor’s I am very grateful to do a large volume of business while maintaining my overall focus for quality work and an enjoyable low-stress experience. From my premium quality listing packages to my variety of buyer services, along with a strong passion for renovation and project consultation, my expertise revolves around single family homes, multi-residential units, investment properties, as well as small commercial opportunities and my involvement in local business.
Although my involvement in real estate starts back as far as my teenage years helping with the family rental properties and constant hands-on renovation projects, I enjoyed an amazing decade long career in the Social Services, Non-Profit, and Fundraising industry before launching a full-time career as a licensed agent. Some of my former roles included running the Heart & Stroke Foundation here in Niagara, gaining hundreds of client’s sustainable employment as an Employment Coach with the YMCA of Niagara, running quality programming for seniors and adults with disabilities as a Recreation Coordinator for the Niagara Region, and working contract jobs with some great local grassroots non-profits. Prior to that as well as while attending University I enjoyed teaching music for several years through the Ontario Conservatory of Music and during the Summer ran a variety of different Children’s Summer Camps and programs.
I truly enjoyed my former career and the wonderful experiences I gained from the journey however without a doubt it quickly became apparent after starting in real estate that this was my calling. Within a relatively short amount of time I have built a solid reputation for quality business, strategic marketing capabilities, expert negotiation skills, and relentlessly impressive results. All with a big friendly smile and a modest down-to-earth approach.
You won’t often catch me in a suit and I’m typically covered in animal fur however I truly believe my style of business perfectly captures the essence of hardworking Niagara and the pride we take in our ingenuity, creativeness, and community spirit!
