The nice people who have designed my website have asked me to put together a couple of words about me to try to give you an idea about my personality and if I might be a good fit for you as you search for either a residential or commercial Broker to serve you.

I am Sudbury born.  My parents came to Sudbury after WW2 from the Ukraine. We didn’t have a lot growing up but back then it didn’t matter.  A loving and warm home, wonderful meals and and a family that was a safe refuge when things got crazy.  A car was a luxury.  So much has changed – “nice to haves” have become “must haves” over the years.  But that’s progress!

I became a Realtor about 8 years ago and earned my Brokers designation two years ago. Prior to that I have had some very interesting jobs – I worked at a Molson and Labatt breweries across Canada eventually landing senior management positions in marketing, sales, regulatory affairs, sports and entertainment.  My experience in sports and entertainment landed me a job at the Toronto Blue Jays as one of three senior executives running the team for the Owners as they looked to sell the team.  It was a great gig.

After that I worked in software and auto parts manufacturing for some Fortune 50 companies in Ottawa and Detroit.  Fourteen years ago I moved back to Sudbury to marry my high school sweetheart Pierrette.  I ended up with two great daughters out of the deal and my granddaughter Ayla and grandson Kaleb.  Terrific times all the time.

So that brings me to today.  I have moved no less than eleven times, each time buying or selling a home.  I know about stress and budgets.  My wife and I own several income properties so I know about that too.  I count some of Sudbury’s best and largest property owners as Friends and Clients. And I also count many homeowners that I have served as Friends.  I love what I do. I have a passion for real estate and love making a deal.  It’s not about beating a Seller or Buyer up in negotiations.  No one wins if anyone loses. Being fair and honest with my a Clients means more to me than how much commission I make.

A wise young lady once told me “ If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life!”  Isn’t that the truth!
