My Story

The ignition point … was an off-topic conversation with my first high school science teacher.  He  asked if anyone might be interested in being hired to help him renovate a property he purchased and planned to turn into a rental.  Until that point, I had not really thought about a house as more than the place you lived.  And never considered that people would pay you to live in a house that you owned.  A spark was lit that would burn on through graduation, buying my first home to house hack at 19, marrying my high school sweetheart, kids, 7 fixer upper homes, a 20-year career as a contractor in residential construction, and a growing portfolio of rental properties.  The fire still burns as I have continued to develop my experience and skills to bring exceptional value to my clients.  

Creating 5 Star Real Estate Experiences You Want to Talk About

My adventures thus far in real estate have drawn on and tied together a heart for service, skills in building, a fascination for strategic marketing, and passion for helping people navigate toward financial freedom.  Real estate isn’t the only path, but my research and experience shows home ownership has been the most consistently successful path for stability and wealth building. Paired with even a single investment property and you can change the course of your financial future.  All this fuels the desire to provide exceptional real estate experiences for my clients as they blaze the trail to their own version of freedom!

Striving ceaselessly for excellence, and a lifetime of value, I put my clients' journey—whether buying, selling, or investing—at the forefront of all I do.

Rooted in Hard Work, Forged in Construction

Born in Edmonton and raised throughout Alberta, from farms, acreages, small towns and in the heart of the City of Champions.  I bring to the table an exceptional heritage in real estate, construction and many walks of hard-working Albertan.  My upbringing is a vibrant tapestry of professionals—from the farm to the oilfield,  shops to offices—instilled me with an intimate understanding and appreciation of the life that ultimately pays for a property.  Your home or income property just a big box.  It’s a cornerstone and testament to the effort you have put in to building a foundation for legacy and success.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Growing up at the cross roads of lines of men who worked with their heads, hearts and hands, I ventured from school to the oilfield and then into residential construction. Working for multiple companies before venturing out on my own to build directly for clients has turned into 20 or so years of intricately learning homes from the inside out and ground up.  From custom mansions to regular single-family homes to row houses and apartment buildings.  My experience building and managing the construction of projects for myself and clients brings a unique knowledge of all that goes into a home.  

Expertise Meets Innovation

My construction acumen is not merely a complement; it is a powerful instrument that refines my real estate strategies. This dual expertise empowers me to navigate my clients with care and precision through every stage of the buying or selling process.
