He is proud to be a true vendors agent, continuously looking at how he can improve the way he delivers optimal outcomes by embracing new ideas, finding innovative solutions, and always going the extra mile. He is an accomplished auctioneer and associate member of the REINZ (AREINZ), where people are required to be nominated by industry peers.
