What is your role at Avison Young?

Principal & Managing Director.

How did you get into commercial real estate?

I had actually wanted to study architecture originally. However, a good friend recommended that I get involved in real estate brokerage. I was quickly hooked and looked for an apprenticeship, and from there it just continued on!

Share an example of a time you delivered economic, social and environmental value to your clients, colleagues or community?

It's not just the one benefit for me—it’s the understanding of bringing all three values together in one's trade. Sustainable economic activity from a social point of view is the focus of my actions for my colleagues and customers.

How do you see our Purpose reflected in your day-to-day work?

A common understanding of a cause is the basis for a strong team. When we all understand our values in the same way, we can achieve the highest goals as a company.

How has Avison Young supported you in bringing Brand Purpose to life in your work?

Imaginative marketing has given us a deep look into the Brand Purpose, but it is up to us to fill it with life. I’ve started the process of embodying the Brand Purpose with myself and it’s gaining momentum.
