Thank You for Taking the Time to Get to Know Me

I’m proud to call Courtenay, British Columbia home, where I live with my wife Kim and our three children. In 2012, we made the move from the mainland to the Comox Valley to embrace the island lifestyle we had always dreamed of. This community holds deep roots for me, my family has been connected to Comox since 1927, and I spent every childhood summer here, especially along the sandy shores of Kye Bay. It’s a special place that continues to shape who I am.

Before real estate, I built a diverse and rewarding career. I spent over a decade as a child and youth care counselor, working with at-risk youth and children with special needs. In 2000, I pursued my passion for food, trained as a chef, and eventually owned and operated an award-winning restaurant in Fort Langley. After starting our family, I transitioned into the food sales industry, where I launched and ran my own successful food company Coast Seafood Distributors.

Through all of these chapters, one constant was my interest in real estate. After years of buying and selling properties and being encouraged by my wife, I earned my real estate license in 2016 and haven’t looked back since. Today, I’m a full-time REALTOR® dedicated to helping people navigate the exciting, emotional, and often life-changing process of buying or selling a home on Vancouver Island.

I bring a relationship first approach to real estate, grounded in family values, honesty, and integrity. My clients appreciate my calm, practical nature, strong negotiating skills, and dedication to customer care. I believe in listening first, speaking second and always putting your needs at the centre of the process.

I continually strive to grow, learn, and deliver outstanding service. Some of my recent professional designations and awards include:

SRES – Seniors Real Estate Specialist

CLHMS – Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist

CNE – Certified Negotiation Expert

RE/MAX Awards

100% Club (2018)

RE/MAX Hall of Fame ( 2022)

Platinum Club (2019-2025)
