He currently manages over 75 million dollars of profitable, cash flow positive real estate assets, primarily apartment buildings with a total of over 1,000 suites in AB, BC, SK, MI and TX. He is happily married with two teenage / young adult children. He invests his own money and that of other people to create wealth for himself, his co-investors and for the communities at large through improved property values, better buildings, creative marketing techniques, better HR policies and more ethical tenant and sub-contractor policies.
