Born and raised in Guelph, I am a proud third-generation Guelphite.

I have grown up watching the city and surrounding area expand into an amazing and diverse community. As we continue to push our boundaries as a community, the need for housing is more apparent than ever. My commitment to my clients and dedication to their real estate goals pushes me to succeed.

Having spent my entire life growing up playing sports and spending the past twenty years in a successful golf industry career, I have learned the importance of dedication, motivation, and organization. All of these skills are key aspects of outstanding customer service and professionalism. I take pride in the many valuable skills I have learned in my first career and apply them to my career in real estate.

My interest in real estate began many years ago. Resetting my personal, professional, and family goals has led me to become a Realtor®. Family is everything to me and we absolutely love living in Guelph, not far from my original family home. Having the support of many local friends and family members occupies a special place in my heart. My wife Jill, daughter Charlotte and our Golden Doodle Mya bring love, support and strength to me every single day.

I am excited to meet many new members of our community and the surrounding area on a daily basis. My goals are to always provide professional service, attention to detail, and local knowledge to my clients, so they can make the best real estate decisions.

Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Giving Back To The Community

Not only do I make financial contributions to local charities but I also donate many hours to help organize our annual TrilliumWest Golf tournament that raises money for Lutherwood Health & Social Services organization. During the winter months, I enjoying spending time helping with donations to the Guelph Food Bank Holiday Campaign and have recently wrote over 100 personalized Christmas cards. The hand written cards are distributed to seniors in our local retirement/nursing homes, and hospitals through the Greetings From My Heart Program.
