My interest in architecture and real estate started relatively early in life. This interest evolved into a career that I love while studying at the University of Virginia, where I earned a B.S. in Architecture in 2002. In my 3rd year I was fortunate enough to study abroad through Denmark’s International Study Program in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I developed a taste for European culture, architectural style, and sustainable design. Since graduating, I have worked for architecture firms in Charlottesville VA, Washington D.C., Chicago IL, Boston MA, and of course here in the Vancouver area, designing high-end homes, resorts, restaurants, institutional buildings, and hospitals.
In 2008, I became a LEED Accredited Professional in order to gather a better understanding of sustainable design principles, which continue to influence my daily decisions as a designer and Realtor. I have since opened and continue to run my own design company, Archonomics, which fills my calendar with interesting and inspiring people and projects every day, and allows me to collaborate with talented builders and professionals across the lower mainland and beyond.
In 2018, I joined Sutton Group West Coast Realty in Abbotsford, BC as a licensed Realtor®. Soon after, I started Fix or Find in order to connect my clients to the knowledge and resources needed when deciding between renovating, selling, buying, building, or downsizing. I specialize in working with clients that may be stuck on the fence and not sure of their next step. It’s easy to spend years in limbo when you don’t hire the right professionals to help you unlock the puzzle. Every client is unique, and I enjoy the challenge of connecting my clients with the homes and lives they deserve.
My home base is in Abbotsford, British Columbia, close to where my wife grew up in Aldergrove. Since putting down roots in 2008, we have grown as a family with the addition of our baby girls. There is no question that these girls are my greatest joy and priority. When they aren’t dancing or playing soccer, they enjoy watching, and sometimes “helping,” dad work on the house or build furniture in the garage, and they enjoy tagging along to an occasional open house or showing.
My mission, is simply, to add value to lives through design and real estate, and to continue improving on the built and un-built environment. Call me any time to chat, I’d love to hear from you.
