I was born and raised in Burlington.  I have lived in both the North and South ends of Burlington and know the area inside and out.  I attended Nelson High School, York University and Mohawk College.   I am also a former member and past president of the Internationally reknowned Burlington Teen Tour Band as well as a founding member of the Burlington Teen Tour Band Alumni Association.   I am also active in Burlington Soccer as a parent, coach and player.  I am a member of the Rotary Club of Burlington Lakeshore, organizers of Canada's Largest Ribfest.    Before entering Real Estate, I had a successful career in the media working for Canada's largest private broadcaster in various senior roles in News, Entertainment and Lifestyle programming.
