I was born and raised in Port Alberni, on Vancouver Island. I moved to Abbotsford to for College in 2000 and fell in love with the Fraser Valley and set my roots. My wife grew up in Abbotsford and we have two small Abbotsfordtonians of our own.

Along with family and real estate, my other passions include sports (hockey mostly) community involvement (volunteered with Big Brothers for many years after being a "little brother" myself) and always enjoy a good movie with friends.
