About
A born and raised Victorian, Kevin loves real estate because he spends every day with people who appreciate that we live in the best location in Canada. After graduating from UVic, Kevin enjoyed a successful 20-year career in communications, public relations and marketing before joining DFH. Kevin applies the same dedicated, personal service excellence to clients wishing to buy or sell a home as he did for his former clients in the finance, high tech, hospitality, media and public sectors. "Every client's needs are unique – I take immense personal interest in each client's situation to bring about the best possible outcome."
Kevin is married to Jill and they have a very active family that includes 4 boys and a daughter. Kevin firmly believes in giving back to his community and currently is the Past-President of the Victoria Chinatown Care Society (after 10 years as President) which manages a residential care facility for seniors. He has also served as a Director of The Royal McPherson Theatres Society which manages the Capital Region's historic civic theatres and The Canadian College of Performing Arts. He was also the founding Chair of the Victoria Community for BC's Children's Hospital.
Kevin also loves coaching youth soccer and supporting organizations that support local kids in need such as Santas Anonymous and ArtsReach.
In 2008, Kevin became one of DFH Real Estate's owners/partners directing DFH's growth as southern Vancouver Island's leading independent real estate firm.
