From the retail floor to the broker's desk
My first career was in business and technology retail — years on the front line at national retailers, then Business Director of a tech-retail company, where I acquired two commercial properties, opened retail locations, and managed purchasing across China and Taiwan. I trained as a Mechanical Engineering Technologist at BCIT before any of it. None of that was a straight line — and that's the point. I learned how money, risk and real businesses actually behave by running the thing, not reading about it.
Why the detour is your advantage
When you're self-employed, new to Canada, or your income doesn't fit a bank's tidy box, you don't need a clerk reading a checklist. You need someone who has been on your side of the table — who has signed the personal guarantee, chased the receivable, and rebuilt after a setback. I read your file the way I'd want mine read: for the whole story, not just line 150.
How I work
I'm an independent broker, so I'm not selling one bank's products — I compare many lenders (A, alternative/B and private) to fit your situation. I explain the trade-offs in plain language, I don't pressure, and I reply fast. My focus is the files that need a human: self-employed and business-owner income, newcomers, renewals and refinances, debt consolidation, private lending, and construction and small-development financing. Since 2019 I've helped families and business owners across Metro Vancouver fund more than $30 million in mortgages.
In your language
I serve Metro Vancouver's community in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. If it's easier for you or your family to work through the details in Chinese, we will — 阅读中文版.
Outside the office
Away from mortgages, I teach and train martial arts. It's where I sharpened the things that show up in my work too: discipline, playing the long game, and staying calm when the pressure is on.
