I grew up up in Braeside, Ontario, a small town about an hour northwest of Ottawa. As a youngster I took a keen interest in sports, especially hockey. The passion and time I put into hockey parlayed into an NCAA scholarship with the University of Maine. After graduating in Business, I signed an N.H.L. contract with the New York Rangers. I would go on to play pro hockey in North America and Europe for the next 8 years.
After my professional hockey career ended, I immediately began working with hockey players of all ages and abilities, sharing my passion and dedication for the sport I love. I established Pro Skaters Inc. 13 years ago which has become a highly successful business and jump off for other professional hockey players. It brings me tremendous gratification to see the young players I work with develop and turn their dreams into reality through hard work and dedication to their craft.
A few years ago, my friend Fried Kemper, the broker of Goldleaf Realty, suggested that I had the personality and work ethic necessary to become a successful realtor. Real estate has always been a keen interest of mine. I have delved into property ownership and investment over the years. Now, I am thrilled to be turning my passion into a new career. My skills, dedication, effective communication and ability to work within a highly successful team will be an invaluable asset to my clients.
Currently, I reside in the beautiful neighbourhood of New Edinburgh alongside my partner Sasha, 3 children; Amelia, Gunnar, Wolf and black Labrador, Iris. I am an avid golfer, enjoy weight lifting, hiking, reading and have a penchant for open-flame cooking.
