I was born here in beautiful Victoria, B.C. and spent my full childhood growing up on the Island. After graduating from the University of Victoria, majoring in Economics including Urban Land Economics, I worked for one of B.C.'s largest Credit Unions where I worked extensively on mortgage financing, and later managed the Vancouver Island region which involved hundreds of foreclosure sales. Over the years I have also been involved in residential development, and managing rental properties. Buying and selling of residential real estate has been a big part of my life over the past 20 years.
