My family and I relocated to Houston in 2020 and it felt like coming home. As a native of Nova Scotia, Canada, I have lived in Alaska and California and traveled much of the world exploring how and where we want to live. We have loved everything Houston area has to offer and truly feel like we have found a great place to raise our family. We have explored much of the area and have fully integrated our family with great schools, youth sports, horse riding, motorcycle riding and of course exploring all the food options this area has to offer. After a 20 year career in the oil and gas industry, I am pivoting to focus more on real estate full time. I have been passionate about real estate ever since I purchased my first fourplex in Alaska in 2005. I learned first-hand how it helped diversify my investments and accumulated wealth. My wife and I have purchased numerous homes through the years, and we now have 3 Houston area properties under our belts in the short time we've been here. Although I am new to being a Realtor, my past experience, owner of oilfield service company for 12 years, equips me with all of the tools needed to perform effectively for my clients. Customer service was the key differentiator to our small service company and gave us the ability to compete against the majors and grow value for our customers along the way. I am excited to meet and work with clients to help them through the real estate journey whether it's to lease, buy, rent, sell or invest, I've done it all in multiple locations. At my core you will find honesty, open communication and having some fun along the way.
