ABOUT THE RESIDENT EXPERT

When I was fourteen years of age my father (an electrical engineer by trade) decided he was going to build his own cottage. I myself, being one of nine boys my father utilized us to help finish the interior of the cottage. It was at this time when I became interested in building components. With his tutelage we completed the whole interior including electrical wiring/heating, plumbing, insulation, and drywall. Together with formal education, thirty years' experience in retail store construction/renovations and having owned several income properties, I have become very knowledgeable with many aspects of building components. Over the years I have performed several renovations and updates to my own properties and also to those of my family and friends. I am a Certified Home Inspector through Carson Dunlop and Certified Thermographer through ITC (Infrared Training Centre). I also acquired my Facility Management Professional certification with IFMA. With my dedication to continued education I am determined to stay current with building codes, building systems and technologies.
