Born in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Alex grew up surrounded by one of the most prolific gold mining districts in Canada. His family home was that of Sir Harry Oakes, who discovered one of the largest gold deposits in the world during the 1930’s. Alex witnessed the complete restoration of the dilapidated structure into the grand home it once was. It was here where he first found his passion for real estate, architecture, design, art and history. Alex moved to the Barrie area just prior to high school and experienced the development of one of the fastest growing real estate markets in Canada. He has lived in Toronto for the past few years after graduating from The University of Western Ontario. Another passion of his is aviation and he holds a commercial pilots license with multiple type ratings. Whether buying, selling, or investing, his belief is that the business relationship is built on trust and bringing value. His aim is to provide value through knowledge that extends beyond the transaction itself and includes ancillary areas of real estate such as art, design and logistics. With the vast resources of Chestnut Park Real Estate Limited and personal contacts behind him, Alex’s desire is to help his client’s achieve their real estate and lifestyle aspirations.
