Background:
Dave was born on the Island, in Duncan. His family moved to Victoria and he grew up along the Fairfield - Oak Bay border. After graduating from the University of Victoria with a Physics degree, he married Agnes and they moved to Calgary. Dave worked as a geophysicist in exploration for Gulf Oil.
While in Calgary, Dave pursued his passions of sports car racing and flying their Cessna 182. After 6 years in Calgary, they just had to get back to the coast. Dave drew on his UVic summer job experience and returned to commercial fishing with a 42 ft troller.
Dave’s long term interest in investing in revenue property, led him to join the Real Estate Investment Network. This group provided seminars and investment knowledge from the likes of Ozzie Jurrock, Raymond Aaron, Robert Kiyosaki and many other top speakers. They provided practical knowledge not available through normal real estate training programs in property evaluation, writing money saving o?ers, marketing and successful negotiating.
This extra training is now a great benefit to Dave’s real estate clients.
After several years investing in real estate on his own, it was a natural for Dave to move into full time real estate sales in 1998.
Giving Back:
Dave donates a portion of each sale commission to the Victoria Shelter Foundation for women in transition and need.
