 How I got here:
I was born in Macau, China and just a few months later my parents and I immigrated to Canada. After originally landing in Nova Scotia we ultimately settled in Edmonton and have been here ever since.
Growing up I was curious about everything, but it wasn’t until after High School that I really broke out of my shell and started to explore. I had many different and interesting jobs along the way but eventually worked in the oil and gas sector as a computer analyst. I soon realized that the corporate 8 to 5 was too restrictive and was draining the life out of me. After over 3 years I decided to change direction and focus on the thing that I most enjoyed and that was real estate and working with people.
I started out my new career as a real estate appraiser and eventually built up a small appraisal and consulting firm which I still own today. With a solid foundation in real estate and an interest in the people side of the business it was inevitable that I transitioned into real estate sales.
