Pete comes to us with over 58 years experience in the boating world. He was introduced to boating at the very early age of 5 which included having to navigate his own runabout. Since that day, Pete has never stopped loving anything that was afloat.  As he grew up with water in sight, his interests included the Lake of Bays Sailing Club, Oakville Yacht Squadron, Power Squadron, memberships with a number of marinas, harbours & associations, cruising & living on the hook on the waters of Georgian Bay every weekend. 
Moving from the Great Lakes of Ontario to the Pacific Ocean in BC in 2018, Pete learned to navigate our Southern Coastal Waters and became a member of the Ladysmith Search and Rescue Team, assisting our fellow boaters in times of need.
With a successful 40-year career in sales combined with his extensive understanding of and passion for boating, you can count on Pete to ensure that you have all the knowledge and guidance you need to make that big decision and that whether you are a buyer or a seller, you will feel supported throughout the entire process.
Pete looks forward to working with you to make your next boating dream come true.
