me to participate in their major life decisions. Whether that is helping a young family buy a home for the first time or informing them about the importance of having a Will, I enjoy educating my community on what a BC Notary can do for them. When I started my Notary practice in Langley, one of the first things I did was volunteer to deliver presentations and Q&A sessions at a local community organization on “How a BC Notary can help you.”

As a frugal Notary student, I wanted to purchase a relatively expensive road bike from a seller who was CEO of an IT company. Two years later, he became my client! That has been a win-win for both of us!

Similar to the way I was mentored as a student, I have invited current interested Notary students to get some hands-on experience working in my office. I strongly believe that the more exposure and practice the students have will greatly contribute to their ease and success as BC Notaries.

When I’m not working in the office, you can find me spending quality time with my wife and two kids. I also enjoy tennis and cycling when Lauren approves. As the saying goes, Happy wife, happy life!

Volunteering and fundraising for the BC Ride to Conquer Cancer is a cause close to my heart. My mom was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2013. Fortunately, she fought hard and beat cancer. Every day, I am astounded and inspired by her strength and positive lens on life.

In each phase of my life, I am guided by a strong connection with family, friends, and the community. That is the key to a very happy and healthy life. s
