about

Hello and thanks for taking a second to click on my profile. Hopefully, you will stick

around for another minute or two to read my bio. I’ll do my best to keep it light and

interesting. Feel free to Begin at the Top, Middle or Bottom. The Choice is Yours!

Real Estate Experience: I bring 12 years of dedicated experience to the real estate

industry. Over the course of my career, I've successfully closed in access of 100M in

property sales in Guelph and surrounding communities. Born in ‘76, I have seen Guelph

and the region change and more than double in size. In my mind, the experience of

living and breathing this city my entire life is the best experience I could offer anyone I

work with, particularly those who are new to the area.

If you were to ask people who know me best and even those who may only know me

through the real estate profession; I think you would find they would say I come by my

work honestly and care about the people I represent.

Beyond Real Estate: it’s all about family, good friends, laughter and a lot of Breyer’s

ice cream (vanilla and chocolate only). I also like my jumbo juicy hot dogs plain, chicken

wings mild and steak medium rare. I prefer sneakers before dress shoes, jeans before

slacks, and if I had a choice a full head of hair. I’m not going to be everyone’s cup of tea

and that’s because I’m a coffee drinker. A nice breakfast blend, not the fancy stuff.

I tolerate the winters, yet love snow blowing the driveway. A perfect day would be a golf

shank free round with temps in the low 20’s, relatively low humidity with a nice light

breeze.

Family: I met my wife, Carly, in 1997 at a university bar called Loose Change Lewy’s in

Waterloo. I rolled in with my pals, cemented my feet to the edge of the dance floor and

remained there for the rest of the night. In seconds my eyes locked onto this tall

gorgeous brunette dancing with her girlfriends to beats of Timbaland and Biggie. They

danced like they were competing in an episode of ‘Star Search’. My first words to her

would come some 13 years later via a keyboard and an internet dating site. Go figure it

only took 13 years to ask her out and one date for her to move in. I guess she figured I

tortured myself long enough. Early on, Carly saw in me what I didn’t see in myself at the

time. She encouraged me to go after my dreams while simultaneously putting hers on

the back burner. It didn’t take long to realize she was special. Her selflessness and

compassion for others are a couple of her best qualities. We married in 2013 and now

have two great boys and an old dog whose best days are behind her. In my world

family, friends and laughter are everything. I can say I’m blessed to have all three of

those things and I like to think my clients are a part of that group.
