"Trust is earned quietly through consistency and follow-through, not promises. I value depth over noise, structure over chaos, and meaningful progress over shortcuts."

The Technical Standard

As a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME), my career was forged in safety-critical environments where compliance and precision are non-negotiable. Operating across Canada, often in high-pressure or remote conditions, I learned that every decision has real-world consequences. This shaped my core mindset: understand systems end-to-end and never rely on assumptions.

Owner-Operator Accountability

Beyond the hangar, my experience as an owner-operator with national brands like Purolator Inc. and Voortman reinforced a deep sense of operational independence. Managing logistics, route optimization, and direct-store delivery meant success depended entirely on personal discipline, relationship-building, and consistent execution.

A Systems Approach to Finance

Today, as a Mortgage Associate with State Alliance Mortgages Inc., I approach finance the same way I approach engineering: with structure, documentation, and scenario analysis. I’m naturally curious about the how and why of regulatory frameworks, allowing me to navigate complexity and build responsible outcomes for Alberta families.

Personal Orientation

Despite my analytical nature, I am deeply human-centered. Family, integrity, and reliability guide my decisions. I operate with a grounded demeanor, preferring thoughtful progress over rushed results and decisions that can be defended logically and ethically over time.
