I'm Looking to Buy a Great Business.
About Me
I’m looking to purchase an established business from an owner wanting to retire and pass on their legacy.
I graduated with a mechanical engineering degree from Queen’s University in 2013. Before attending university, I spent many years working in my family business, where I developed a strong understanding of what it takes to build something lasting.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve gained experience across a variety of industries—automotive, chemical manufacturing, utilities, and energy efficiency. I’ve also had success in my own businesses including Northwood Sunglasses, and a digital marketing agency. This diverse background has given me a well-rounded skill set, making me confident in my ability to take on the challenge of buying and growing a business.
I’m now focused on finding the right opportunity to acquire a local, small business.
Passionate About Community
Growing up in a small town, I learned early on the value of community and helping others. That mindset has stuck with me throughout my life.
I believe in making a positive impact wherever I can, and this is a key consideration for me when buying a business.
Away From Work
I have a zeal for adventure, wherever it might come from.
My wife, our 1-year-old daughter, and I live in the east end of Kingston, where we love spending time together as a family.
I’m a big fan of the outdoors—whether it’s snowboarding and hiking in the mountains, surfing, or camping. In the summer, we spend as much time as we can at the cottage, enjoying everything nature has to offer.
When I’m not outside, I love learning, designing, building, and fixing things. You’ll often find me in my woodshop, milling logs into lumber or working on new projects.
