After growing up in South Eastern Ontario, I decided to pursue a new adventure and move to the west coast in the summer of 2021. Having previously worked on construction sites from a young age, and recently building houses near Toronto, I found myself intrigued by the science behind home building. After spending a few years at Carleton University studying Neuroscience, I made the decision to pursue my passion for building houses and helping others work towards higher efficiency housing and more sustainable building practices.
In my free time I like to be mostly outdoors hiking, biking, fishing and playing hockey. I also enjoy playing video games and reading during a rainy day.
