About me personally: Irrepressible idea generator. Life long learner. Gemini. Introvert (INTP). Toastmaster. Pescetarian. Former sailor. Fashion challenged.
Aside from 3 short-lived “real” jobs, I’ve been in business for myself ever since I cornered the babysitting market on Elmhurst Street when I was 12.
My businesses have ranged from video store to real estate to freelance computer programming to instructional design and training to “flipping” mobile homes. (As in buying, fixing and re-selling…not over-turning.)
In 2008, I sold everything I owned and took a 2 year mini-retirement. I bought a sailboat with my partner and traveled 1,000 miles down the Mexican Baja (after only 3 days of sailing lessons.) No one died! -

One of my favorite movies is Serendipity..... Whoooooa! Felt good getting that off my chest, I've been holding that in forever, very embarrassing! More importantly, I am a Mortgage Broker, living in Langley and working hard every day to build my business through staying educated on new products and regulations, networking and most importantly, referrals. Referrals are critical for success in this business which makes it so important to do the best job possible for your client. This means making sure they get the best mortgage (which doesn't always mean the lowest rate) with an enjoyable, stress free experience. This also means treating everyone like they are your number one priority, which if you really think about it, they are.
I enjoy doing my job every day, it has it's ups and downs of course like for example..... does anyone meet anywhere other than coffee shops these days? I am of the rare breed of people out there who do not drink coffee. Do you know how many venti ice waters I have had in the last week let alone the last couple of years? But the smile on peoples faces when they get approved for the mortgage on that home they wanted so bad, or when they find out you can help them lower payments and save money, more than makes up for my disdain for the aroma of coffee.
I think a good goal for all of us would be to try and leave a smile on everyone's face as you part ways with them, it makes it that much more likely they will be smiling again next time you see them. Just a thought....
I look forward to meeting all you HOBNers and learning about your various businesses and ideas. It will be fun finding new ways to add value to one another's businesses while working towards our goals.
I will leave you with a quote I read just now, I really like it. " Be yourself, everyone else is taken." Great advice!
Thank you, and please don't tell anyone about my questionable taste in movies. It will be an HOBN secret, for members ears only.

see more What We DoFirst, we seek to understand you. As the leader of your business, it is no secret that you have innate skills that make you destined to lead.
Our goal is to reconnect you with your highest value and skill, and help put all the parts in place to clear the road for your company to live up to your ambitions for it.
Our team helps yours find what it needs, whether it is more of the right kind of people, funding, succession planning or even a buyer. Your people are concerned everyday with the operation of your company. Our people work at a fast pace to institute changes and efficiencies to help your people succeed.
We have consulted to, invested in, bought and sold companies of all sizes. We specialize in helping companies in distress, but we have implemented growth practices that have doubled the size of previously successful companies as well.
Passion to solve the impossibleWhen something seems impossible from inside a company, we see it is a welcome challenge. Our team of qualified business professionals have seen and handled business transaction of all kinds, yet we approach each problem with a fresh perspective.
Because that is what you need, is it not? You are in need of a fresh perspective. You have vision in spades, and leadership skills that are not to be questioned. But you may also need some change agents to help you get to where you want to go. We are those agents of change.
How Do We Do It?These are not trade secrets, and we are not peddlers of rhetoric or hype, so here is the straight goods on our process. Our first step is to look carefully into three areas of the business:
- The ideas that drive the business. How can you innovate (and continue to) faster than your market?
- The management talent. Is there a balance of talent? Do they have what they need?
- The capital structure. Having the right capital and the right capital partners cannot be overstated.
- Predictable and balanced growth
- A more vibrant, energized company
- A several fold increase in valuation
- Reduction in risk exposures
- A more nimble organization, adept to change
- A self-sustaining company, more resilient to the unforeseen
Speed. The people we choose on our teams love to work at high rates of change. They have demonstrated the ability to communicate faster, execute faster and work well with existing teams.
Quantitatively, if a company is running at 15% growth, our people are comfortable at 30%, 100% and even higher rates of growth. What does that mean to you as the owner? It would be analogous to bolting a supercharger to the engine of your car. Get the idea?
