What I do on a daily basis: I can be found as the hands-on Project Manager for our commercial renovations including retail, offices, restaurants and bars. I also head up residential renovations including decks and docks as needed.

Why I do what I do: Working and living in Whistler is a dream come true. Being active and taking advantage of everything from the lakes in the summer and the endless snow covered mountains in the winter. I want others to experience the dream.

My qualifications: Twenty years in construction.

Where you can find me when not at work: Snowboarding, Skateboarding, at the gym, or BMX Racing. I love living in Canada and the Sea to Sky Corridor gives me the best of both summer and winter for outdoor activities.

Fun fact: Ugo and I have been planning a snowboard trip to Alaska for years but if he doesn't start training soon to keep up I might have to take my girlfriend instead.

“I'm inspired by fine craftsmanship, being a part of a final product that I am proud of, that I can show off to my kids.”
