THE INSIGHTS
Where did you grow up?
I grew up immersed in the natural beauty of Muskoka, where I developed a lifelong appreciation for lakeside living and the community spirit that defines this incredible region.
Where do you live now? And what neighbourhood (in Canada, or worldwide) would you love to live in (that isn’t your own)?I live
Right here in Simcoe-Muskoka, Ontario — a place that’s always been home. If I had to choose elsewhere, Whistler, British Columbia, with its serene beauty and luxury lifestyle, would be a strong contender.
How did you end up becoming a real estate agent?
Real estate was a natural evolution. With a background in construction, sales, and entrepreneurship, I saw an opportunity to combine those skills with my passion for Muskoka and serve high-net-worth clients in a meaningful, relationship-driven way.
Describe what a typical “day in the life” looks like for you.
Each day is a blend of listing presentations, waterfront showings, virtual client meetings, and content creation. I spend time on the lakes, leveraging tech tools like AI-driven insights and drone marketing, while ensuring my clients feel personally guided every step of the way.
What’s the single best advice you have for sellers?
Presentation is everything. High-end services, professional photography, and premium marketing create emotional connections that drive value — especially in a luxury market like Muskoka.
What’s the single best advice you have for buyers?
Buy for lifestyle, not just investment. A cottage in Muskoka is more than a property — it’s memories on the dock, sunsets with family, and a legacy asset that pays emotional dividends.
What made you choose to work for your current brokerage?
Corcoran’s global reach and luxury brand values align perfectly with my mission. Their commitment to innovation and personalized service empowers me to deliver world-class experiences right here in Muskoka.
Who do you believe is making the biggest waves in the industry today?
Corcoran itself is a trailblazer — blending traditional excellence with digital innovation. I also admire agents and teams using content creation and social media to genuinely connect with clients beyond just listings.
One professional goal for the next year? For the next 10 years?
In the next year, I want to position Corcoran Muskoka as the go-to luxury brokerage in the region. Over the next 10? I plan to scale operations, mentor future leaders, and build a legacy brand that redefines cottage country real estate.
Tell us about your favourite (or most memorable) sale, and why it stands out to you.
One sale that stands out was a multi-generational estate on the Muskoka Lakes. It wasn’t just about closing a deal — it was helping a family preserve their Muskoka legacy, with both privacy and sophistication at the forefront. The emotional impact was unforgettable.
What are the three words you hope your clients use to describe you?
Trustworthy. Visionary. Committed.
