As a kid growing up in a small town, watching my dad build houses, I always thought I would like to sell them. Here it is 20 years later, my dad is retired and I'm still in the industry, not selling anymore, rather working with over 50 great brokers and their managers in Western Canada.

Time changes a lot of things, however, the need for good service and attention to detail never changes. Watching my dad work has taught me many valuable principles and a work ethic that I still use today.

Hobbies:

Hockey, skiing, softball, camping, motorcycling, puttering around the yard, long walks

Community Interests:

Blood donor over 100 times, involved with junior hockey, coached hockey and baseball at elite levels

What is really important in life?

As we go through life, I'm sure all of us ask ourselves this question. Sometimes we go through a stretch where the road is rough and the hills are long. It's at that point each one of us find out what we're made of and what's really important. There's a phrase that says "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". What do you think? Where does our strength come from in these times?

I believe we should live our lives with less conditions, more excitement, less pressure, more fun, less blame, and much more tolerance of those things we cannot change. "It's not who's right, rather what's right".

I want to take more time and appreciate those good things around me including my family, friends, and of course my health. "Sometimes 100% is not enough, sometimes you have to do what it takes". How much effort do we want to put into any one thing? How do we define success? What's really important in life?

Relocating across the Country?

Should you require assistance with a relocation specialist across our great country of Canada, perhaps I can help. I personally know good Realtors in most major cities and they would welcome the opportunity to offer their services.
