Raised in Saskatoon, I have spent many winters shovelling snow and took a few years to find a good 'calling' that would take me into a career I would enjoy. 

From early on I was exposed to real estate and renovations. This experience in the trades lead me to assist in new home building and undertaking larger renovations on my own. 

I explored new options, while keeping a few revenue properties, and ended up entering the Forces as a pilot. As my training progressed, my first posting took me to Vancouver Island after my officer training was completed. 

Deciding to eventually release from the forces, pursue education and continue with real estate/renovations in Victoria, BC has led me to my present standing.

From 2007, I have been renovating houses and started to buy/sell properties. This was definitely the beginning of my passion for real estate.

During the next few years, I assisted in new home construction of both; a duplex and a single family home (breaking ground-to-finish carpentry). 

Speeding forward a few more years, I continue to renovate and seek out new real estate on Vancouver Island and plan to settle into perfecting my renovation and carpentry skills into the future. The use of tile work and interior design has been my top achievement in the past few years, and I intend to continue to improve the quality when working with Mavericks Solutions Ltd.

I have always been fascinated with real estate and the potential it has for investment regarding value and opportunity.

Property held for investment purposes I have found to be a very valuable asset when looking to the future. Researching the next opportunity has become a part of my everyday routine and has even allowed  my desire to mix hobbies with work a complete success.

Pursuing higher education within the Project Management Institute (PMI) realm has provided the skills, processes and methodologies which was well matched to my ongoing experience.

Living on the West Coast has allowed me to experience and fully grasp the enjoyment the outdoors has to offer. Traveling and observing different areas, with different styles of building has continually allowed me to fully enjoy my adventures while still taking notes and bringing new ideas to the table.

Whether surfing in Tofino, stand-up paddling in Jordan River and Victoria, camping and hiking the pacific rain forests - enjoying craft beer and excellent coffee is definitely a constant along the way.
