Back to my roots, for good
I spent 25 years solving complex problems in technology. Now I bring that same care and discipline to helping people buy and sell in the place I grew up.
I grew up in the Brockville and St. Lawrence area, but spent my summers exploring the lakes, rivers and back roads around Rideau Lakes and Smiths Falls. After finishing a seven-year international assignment for my tech career, my family and I decided it was time to come back to our roots for good. We bought a home in Rideau Lakes and are glad to be back, enjoying the region alongside our two adult children and extended family.
My tech career lasted over 25 years, including 19 at Adobe as a Director of Engineering. I managed software development and operations for Adobe Experience Manager, the world-leading digital marketing platform supporting $1.5 billion in annual revenue. Keeping that kind of complex product organized and on track took a lot of technical discipline, but the work was always about the people for me. I got the most satisfaction from helping clients, supporting my teams and solving problems.
Real estate isn't new to me. For the last ten years I've invested in it personally, buying and selling my own properties, so I know what it feels like to be on your side of the table: the excitement, the second-guessing, and the details that can make or break a deal.
At 50, I left the corporate world to bring that same client focus and digital marketing background to real estate, serving my local community.

Grounded in heart, backed by capability
A home is a personal decision
A home is much more than a financial asset. It is a deeply personal and emotional investment. My focus is on guiding you through buying or selling, keeping communication clear, staying calm when things get stressful, and advocating for you at every turn.
