Agent CON- 00135400Driven. Down-to-earth. Deeply passionate about real estate.. and the people behind every move.
After a successful 20 year international corporate career for some of the world’s most recognized brands, I made the leap to real estate to pursue something more personal: helping individuals and families find their place in the world, starting with a home.
Now based in beautiful Calgary, I bring the same professional mindset, client-first attitude, and commitment to excellence to every real estate journey.
Outside of real estate, you will find me BBQing & grilling for my family, geeking out over history, or using my Fujifilm cameras to capture moments in time with the people I love. I am also a lifelong fan of FC Bayern München and a loyal supporter of the Calgary Flames. And I am always up for friendly conversation and a good laugh.
I love Calgary. I love Canada. And I am passionate about helping others experience the incredible opportunities this beautiful city & great country have to offer.
