Military Score: 6/10

Have you ever taken a look back over your life and realized that the pieces just fell into place to create what you are doing right now? I never really gave it much thought but when I take a look back to my interior design days, retail and manufacturing businesses and building houses – it just seemed to lead me to the perfect place I am right now. Becoming a realtor was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Top 1% Master Platinum Award

Building houses and decks or helping with landscaping over the years with my parents was the easiest way for me to hone skills that at the time I didn’t realize I would use later. I headed off to college straight from High School and ended up staying in the Kitchener area for six years before returning back home. When my parents offered to put me through the Real Estate College I jumped on it!
