Hello! I’m Gene, I used to say that my hobbies were other kinds of work! I've always been passionate about business and how things work. I've owned two businesses and helped hundreds of people starting their own. I'm a huge researcher, and like to tinker and fix things. If it's broken I can't go wrong, right? Either way I've learned something. Life Beyond the Office: When I’m not crunching numbers and completing paperwork, you’ll find me enjoying the calm pace of rural life. I was born in Vegreville Alberta, grew up in BC, and happy that Lac La Biche has been my home since 2004. My pride and joy? My 15-year-old son, who has thousands of ideas a day and reminds me of someone… I’m Fixer of Things, Smart-home Enthusiast, and Lifelong Learner: I’m not just about business though —I’m a tinkerer at heart. Give me a broken gadget, and I’ll have it humming again in no time. I have a passion for computers, smart home technology and things that save time. I’m always one step away from the next DIY project. Science fiction, action or comedy movies? Yes, I’m all in. Making a Difference, One Mortgage at a Time: Before my mortgage journey, I spent a decade working with a non profit organization. It’s there that I discovered my true calling: helping people. I’m passionate about making a positive impact on lives. So, let’s chat!
