I take great pride in being a Nelson local. Having been born and raised here, I fell in love early on with the area’s rich history, particularly its heritage buildings. My partnership with the Nelson Museum Archives & Gallery allows me unique access to these archives, giving me a deep perspective on how Nelson has evolved and how it will continue to change in the years to come. I’m also pleased to pledge a $100 donation to the museum for every transaction, contributing to the preservation of Nelson’s history.

As an enthusiastic adventurer, I enjoy experiencing Nelson to its fullest, whether that be on the slopes at Whitewater Ski Resort in winter or sailing up Kootenay Lake in the summer months.

In my earlier days, I had the privilege of instructing Nelson’s youth in the art of sailing, skiing, and soccer. Now, I strive to give back to the community that has been so kind, caring, and supportive during my formative years. I try my best to make an impact in the community with the help of my fellow Rotarians, and being a member of The Nelson Daybreak Rotary Club has given me ample opportunities to help those around me. I also enjoy educating residents, both local and new, about Nelson’s fascinating history.

I am committed to providing the highest quality service to my clients through knowledgeable, honest, and dependable service. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just exploring Nelson and the surrounding communities, I am here to assist you with your needs.

My goal is to relieve the stress and pressures that come with buying and selling homes so that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of.

Being a Real Estate Agent is about relationships, advocating, educating, negotiating and helping someone through the process of making one of the biggest financial decisions of their life. It’s about being available when your client’s need you and your help.

Whether you’re selling or buying for the first time, or the last, every move you make needs to be the right move and it all starts with choosing a Real Estate Agent who works and connects with you and is there for you.

If you’re in the market to make a move, or just looking for some help and advice, reach out to me at anytime.
