Professional Background
Gord worked for the Ministry of Natural Resources throughout the province and in 1984 he and his family transferred to the Parry Sound area where he worked in the fish and wildlife field until his retirement in 2000.
Since then, Gord has expanded his energies into real estate, where he is well versed in both the natural environment and the real estate market throughout the Parry Sound district.
Working and enjoying the great outdoors at his parents' cottage, for many years gave Gord a wealth of experience on cottage life. Presently, he makes his home on beautiful Mill Lake only minutes from the Town of Parry Sound.
Gord initially focused on vacant lots and waterfront properties, due to his in-depth knowledge of the area, but is now marketing all recreational and residential properties in Parry Sound and the surrounding lakes.
