Commercial Real Estate is never the same, it is constantly changing and plays a crucial part in the operation of every company — especially how it affects its ability to retain and attract talent. I started in the business over 30 years ago, and in my career, I have learned that I truly love crafting creative solutions that solve my clients’ needs, including leasing, sales, subleasing, and real estate consulting for the technology industries.
In 1994 I co-founded The High Technology Facilities Group, Vancouver’s only full-service tenant representation team to focus exclusively on serving BC’s technology sector. Over the last 27 years, the tech industry has exploded, and working alongside the companies that make Vancouver a leading North American tech city it is today, has been an incredible journey. My clients are hugely passionate about their business and pull out all the stops when it comes to growing their teams. Finding commercial space for tech comes with its own unique set of challenges, and I get a real charge from sourcing and negotiating the perfect solutions that help my clients take their companies to the next level.
Outside of work, traveling is my passion – it gives me a break from the 24/7 “deal noodling” I do while in the city. Whether it’s hitting the slopes in Whistler, taking in art and architecture, racing my young adult family up the Grouse Grind, or road-riding with my wife, having that “out of market” downtime helps me recharge and think creatively about the projects I have on the go.
