I love living on Vancouver Island—and so helping others with their homes here is more than just a job. This is my work in a community of neighbours and friends. Home is a very personal space, so I work with you on your terms, listening to your needs. And this means that, whether you are buying or selling, I am often helping you with important life decisions. I approach being your real estate partners with a professionalism that also values personal connection and loyalty. I am your "friend in the business."
I grew up on the coast north of San Diego. Prior to becoming a real estate agent in 2006, careers included advertising, marketing, design, and teaching both high school and community college. I have a B.A. in journalism and an M.A. in English composition. I speak English and Czech.
My wife, Veronika, and I have been together for over 30 years, and we have two boys in university. We moved from Prague, Czech Republic, where we met, to San Diego, California, and finally to Saanich in 2003. Aside from the title of Realtor, I am also a poet, educator, counsellor, and surfer. Other interests include blues harmonica, woodworking, reading and continuous learning.
I am supportive of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, genders, orientations and religions. I support various causes through volunteering and donations, including:
