MY STORY

For nearly three decades, I’ve been actively involved in various disciplines spanning land planning, development, marketing, communications and public engagement. My work spans both private and public sectors in Western Canada, focusing on activities such as due diligence efforts, land use assessments, planning approvals, project and team management, and communications strategies. My primary focus lies in mixed-use, residential multi-family, and single-family projects, along with involvement in commercial and industrial development.

I possess a wide-ranging skill set and a proven history of successful collaboration with experts and multidisciplinary teams throughout the entire project lifecycle. From due diligence and planning to development approvals and marketing, I’ve been an effective partner. My extensive experiential training and strong technical abilities allow me to approach my work with versatility and depth with notable capabilities as a solution-oriented problem solver and strategist.

My latest professional venture is the establishment of R/E Strategist, a strategic land planning, development, and communications consultancy, launched in early 2021.

I welcome the opportunity to leverage my decades of professional experiences in a senior capacity within a progressive, team-oriented group, principled by unwavering honesty and integrity, who’s shared aspiration is to create a lasting legacy.
