Starting On A Farm

I grew up on a farm in rural Alberta where the first 13 years of my life were spent in a small, 4-room farmhouse, no indoor plumbing, sharing a bedroom with my sister and two brothers – girls in one bed, boys in the other.

Our family worked hard all the time – kids included! We worked the fields, made the meals, went to bed, and got up the next day to start all over again.

I was embarrassed that we didn’t have a lot growing up. I can still remember feeling that, as the farm kid, I was different and didn’t fit in with the kids from town.

First Taste of Freedom

Coming from those humble beginnings made me driven to build something more than we had back on the farm.

And if my parents taught me anything, it was this...

"You can’t go wrong investing in assets"

At 21, I bought what I called my “Freedom Car”. It was a cherry red British TR6 sportscar and I paid $3500 - cash.

This made me crave even more freedom, in more ways, in my life.

From Multi-passionate to Multi-millionaire

At 43, I started my first wellness business, building teams throughout North America and Europe.

At 45, I used the money I made in my wellness business to set a new real estate goal: 10 properties in 5 years. Did I reach that goal? Absolutely I did!

By 53, I had 11 residential properties and a portfolio worth 4.5 million.
