My life and work experiences have given me the tools to guide you through the process with a calm, pressure free approach with an added bit of humour.  My ability to solve issues before they develop (as well as ones that pop up unexpectedly along the way) by thinking outside the box is one of the core reasons for my success.  

My work life started in restaurants, then came a few years running automotive repair shops, finally spending 23 years in the forest industry up and down the coast in remote camps. The last 19 years were spent helicopter logging for Helifor Canada 5 years as a rigger, then camp foreman for 14 years running the logging operations and camp facility. The move from forest industry to real estate may not have an obvious connection but when you look deeper, both careers involve solving problems and dealing with people.  

I grew up in a real estate family so I had some understanding of the business before I jumped in, but it was the opportunity to take over my family’s business and clientele that made the move logical.  My step-father Hans Op De Beek and his wife Poppy Steele were top producers for years and in the business for 32 and 22 years respectfully. Their knowledge, systems, training, mentoring and respect in the industry and community gave me the base I needed to build my own successful business.
