Who am I?

Real estate is my focus.

I spent my 20's building online businesses. I learned how to leverage technology through digital marketing and fell in love with helping people solve big problems. I decided that I wanted my 30's to be about helping people solve a much bigger problem, investing in and owning Real Estate. Today, I get to solve the ultimate problem, helping friends and family use Real Estate as a way to build wealth and create unforgettable memories. Here's a little more about how it all began...

My story truly starts when I was 6 years old and my dad gave me a skateboard (a yellow bananaboard, to be exact). I was obsessed. I started going to skate competitions and ended up with an offer from Volcom to be a sponsored skater on their youth team. Fatefully, at 12 years old, I tore ligaments in my left knee performing a trick on a half-pipe. On the way to the hospital I said, and I quote, "Mom, how am I going to take care of a family as a pro-skateboarder if I end up hurt like this?". I was in Grade 7. Looking out the window of the car it hit me. "I know, mom! I'll be a pro drummer! I've already been drumming for 2 years, which means I still have time to be the best in the world!". Deep down, I felt like I was throwing away years of my investment into skateboarding, and believed some other kid, somewhere, had a HUGE head start on me playing drums. Silly? Perhaps. I can't tell you why, but I've always believed you have to be absolutely ALL IN on whatever it is you choose to do in life.

So, true to my word, I ended up touring as a pro drummer. And between gigs I would travel to study with the world's best drummers. I quickly realized that drumming wasn't going to be enough. I wanted to own something for myself rather than be the guy in the back who followed the vision of someone else. I started an online website called 180 Drums and hired the best drummers in the world to teach. This opened me up to the world of business and digital marketing. I started buying up online businesses that I could apply my digital strategies to, like DRUM!, a california-based magazine that I grew up reading as a kid (it was started the year I was born) and which I now own today.

I see today how all of these skills in business — Marketing, Leadership, Sales, Managing Large Contracts, Systems — ultimately led me to the place where I could feel justified in helping people handle the largest transaction of their lives. It was at this time I began dedicating myself to finding real estate I could buy as an investment, helping my friends find homes and investment properties, and working with people in my local community to secure their dream homes. I've found my place in the world and it's Real Estate. So, since you're still reading this, here's what you should know about me—I'm going to be the most invested, honest and engaged real estate agent you will ever work with. How do I know? Because I fully believe one simple truth, "You can have everything you want in life, if you can simply help enough people get what they want." And let me tell you—if your success is my success, then you can be certain I'm going to take your success more seriously than you. So do me a favour, send me a message and say "hello!". I look forward to learning about you and your family's story. The best is ahead for you, and I look forward to having the priviledge of creating more success for you.
