Raised in Edmonton and calling it his home since completing his degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Alberta and a degree in Architecture at the University of British Columbia. For over 22 years he has been in the land development industry in both greenfield development as well as infill residential construction and project management.
He has also worked at three levels of civil service: the City of Edmonton’s Housing and Homeless Section, the County of Strathcona’s Current Planning Department, and the Government of Alberta’s Ministry of Infrastructure. He also has non-profit experience, most recently as the Director of Housing at Homeward Trust Edmonton, which focused on the homeless serving sector.
He brings to his work a keen eye for how people interact with architecture, a love of urban design, combined with a sensitivity to the realities of building construction and maintenance. He continues the trajectory of working in community development with the establishment of the trio of housing affordability companies – the Green Violin Community Development Company, the Rose Cello Affordable Housing Society, and the Prairie Sky Property Management Corporation.
