Expériences professionnelles
As a Senior Director at Colliers International, I assist companies to take a proactive approach to reviewing and maintaining their property assessment & taxation. With a growing team of professionals, we are able to support our clients above and beyond their expectations.
Our goal is to assure our clients that their property assessments are accurate and that they aren’t paying too much in property tax year after year. Located out of the Calgary office I specialize in managing commercial real estate.
With over a decade of experience in the industry, my focus is on all commercial real estate specializing in Retail and Office.
When I’m not at work you can find me relaxing at home with my wife and three kids, at the gym or out on the Soccer Field or Baseball Diamond coaching my son's teams.
