Alignment before action is the new hustle. Embodying and becoming the essence of success is the path and one that involves consistently connecting with your why. Knowing how you want to feel is an excellent starting point in the creation of dreams turned into actionable goals and results.

Over the years, Rick observed his friends purchasing vacation homes and wondered if he'd have the opportunity to invest in his personal dream: a vacation home set within the Rockies.

What began as a thought quickly shifted into an inspired, aligned plan. Rick desired a year-round destination close to home to maximize potential and accommodate both national and international travellers. He was enticed by the idea of being able to manage his own funds and real estate offered an investment opportunity he could control. Within a few years, Rick had purchased two Canmore-based vacation rental properties and from there, created a new life path projected toward real Estate Investment.

An active real estate investor since 2002 and REIN member for 10 years, Rick has now found a niche as an expert in vacation and recreational properties. His well-rounded investment portfolio also includes single-family homes, condo rentals and income suite development. The collective intelligence and experience of the REIN community is an enhancement to real estate investment education and has given Rick tremendous leverage with his own business streams. Rick feeds off the energy and diversity REIN brings to the table, which continually inspires him to attend meetings.

Don't Quit Your Day Job... Yet

In 2016, Rick completed his REIA certification as a method to connect with the REIN community in a broader, impactful way. One of his fundamental pieces of advice to new investors is the importance of balancing their day job with entrepreneurial pursuits. Timing and financial preparedness is everything; leaving your full-time employment too early can do more harm than good to your portfolio.

Rick is committed to improving his clients' experience and recently developed a real estate investment podcast and blog to share his expertise. While he knows knowledge building is important, he also believes taking action is essential and is when the real education begins.

Rick's unique coaching style is rooted in excellence, passion and positivity; leading and guiding others towards their vision through a four-door strategy. By shifting perception to the finished product and creating steps backwards, he's discovered more opportunity, efficiency and accuracy.
