About Matt
Real estate advisor, hospitality veteran, and community partner. I help clients move through life’s big decisions across residential and commercial properties—with confidence, clarity, and a little personality.
My story
Raised in Ancaster, Ontario, I grew up with three passions that still steer me today: golf, great pubs, and real estate. I started working at GTA golf courses before moving into the food and beverage world, where I owned and operated everything from lively Irish pubs and seafood restaurants to a CCMA award-winning country bar named “Best Country Bar in Canada.”
That hospitality background taught me that every great experience starts with listening, reading the room, and delivering more than expected. When I shifted into real estate, I brought those instincts with me.
My interest in property was shaped by my father, a prominent commercial land developer across Southern Ontario in the 1980s and ’90s. His line still rings in my ears: “Real estate deals are like personalities; no two are the same.” It’s a reminder I bring to every client relationship: each deal is unique, and the best outcomes come from treating it that way.
Today, with more than 20 years of business experience behind me, I work out of the Royal LePage Our Neighbourhood Realty office at Evergreen Brickworks in Toronto. I help clients navigate residential and commercial real estate with confidence, clarity, and a long-term view.
My approach
Real estate can be transactional, but it shouldn’t feel that way. I take time to understand what you actually need—today and in the future. That means asking better questions, sharing honest insight, and staying involved long after the deal closes.
Beyond the sale, I’m drawn to work that creates broader value: mentorship, community partnerships, and giving back through organizations like the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy.

Outside the office
When I’m not working with clients, I’m usually with family, on the golf course with friends, at the cottage, cheering on the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor, or recharging by the ocean.
