My story
From Barrie to Kelowna, at 18.
I grew up in Barrie, Ontario and moved to Kelowna when I was 18. I fell in love with the BC lifestyle right away: the mountains, snowboarding, being outdoors.
I've always had an entrepreneurial mindset. Since high school I knew I wanted to build my own business one day.
After school I worked in the trades, then spent about four years on the railway across Western Canada. It gave me a strong work ethic and good income. It also taught me I didn't want to spend my life away from home. A month gone, a few days back. Plans were hard to make. I wanted a career with both entrepreneurship and location freedom.
02
Finding mortgages
A mentor who took me under her wing.
I found mortgage brokerage through one of my best friend's moms, a veteran broker who mentored me through my first year. She taught me the foundations and gave me the chance to learn the business properly. From there, I branched out and started building my own.
03
Why real estate
A mortgage isn't a rate. It's a system.
I've always been into real estate investing, and one day I want to build homes and developments myself. Brokerage puts me on the front lines, seeing how financing, equity, debt, investments and property decisions really work together.
That's why I look at the whole picture. My job isn't just finding you a rate. It's helping you make decisions that fit your goals.

How I operate
Built for the long term, not the next deal.
I'm obsessed with getting better at this business and finding better ways to serve clients. I'm not building a transaction business. I'm building a career and a reputation that compounds over time.
