I have nearly 2 decades of experience consulting over a dozen industries across North America to the largest public, private, and governmental organizations. I have been investing in real estate for 10 years now. By combining my corporate experience to real estate, I am able to provide a unique strategic, analytical, and financial lens to all investments. I love to teach and help others.
I grew up outside of Hamilton between Ancaster and Brantford in the countryside on Hwy#2. Our family owned and operated a humble 10-bedroom motel. In the middle of the motel was the office connected to our home and on each side were 5 rooms. It was a home and business simultaneously with a single mortgage. There were 6 of us living in a 2-bedroom home. Renting out daily/weekly/monthly 1-bedroom rooms and servicing customers, cleaning rooms, and maintaining the motel became part of who I was and an experience I embraced.
The operation wasn’t a cash cow, nor did it come with any capital gains even after 17 years of ownership, but it did provide safe and sustainable income generation so we could all survive.
My parents also owned 2 rental properties in Cambridge. I remember conversations regarding how the tenants trashed the place and how the home was a hub of illegal activities. I also recall how these homes were being funded by the tenants, and that stood out to me.
The above explains my general exposure to real estate at a younger age, but my story needs to be articulated in terms of the WHY. This is about financial freedom, not financial maintenance or independence.
Real wealth is about freedom and having the monetary stability to take control of time, our most powerful asset. Taking this into consideration, it’s critical to understand money is a game and can be learned. I started to think about my money blueprint and my thoughts surrounding it. How to make money, how to keep it, and how to invest it. At any given moment in our life, we are blessed with the gift to either grow or live in fear and remain in the status quo. I’d been through a couple of principal residences and an investment condo, and from my upbringing real estate resonated with me. I took this upon myself to immerse myself into investment real estate: how to acquire assets, how to grow a portfolio, how to strategically renovate homes, how to maximize cash flow, and how to find great tenants to live in the homes. I’ve been able to scale to over a $12M+ portfolio of assets that will provide me with the opportunity to live life on my own terms. I want to share my knowledge with you and help you also grow and live out your dreams.
Outside of real estate, I’ve spent almost 20 years as a management consultant and technology executive. I’ve had the privilege to serve as an advisor to some of the largest organizations in Canada. Currently, I am a global executive for Amazon. I help lead the strategy, structure, and negotiations for their largest customers globally. I am passionate about adding as much value to every single person that I meet.
If we aren’t learning, we aren’t living. For the majority of us, unfortunately, we never reach our capacity since we believe education stops after post-secondary studies. Educating myself DAILY has been the most critical component of my personal growth which also translates into my health, spirituality, emotionality, mindset, and relationships. I’ve learned to train myself to be naturally curious and always asking questions. What I don’t know is far greater than that what I do know, and thus, I’ll continually spend time and money to grow myself as an individual.
I’ve spent the time and money to educate myself and will continue to do so. As my investor partner, you benefit from all my direct experience and the continuous learning process that is deeply part of who I am.
I plan ahead. I think through options and make effective decisions. I balance risk and returns. I don’t get emotional with business.
My core values for business are the following. This is who I stand for and what I deliver.
As my partner, you will always be seen, heard, and cared for. I do what I say and deliver. My communication style is open and considerate. You will value my ability to listen and offer guidance and solutions. Results matter and your success is what drives me.
