The Person Behind the Professional

Based in Victoria, British Columbia, Kael is a father and husband who believes the best business relationships are built on shared values. He prioritizes health, family, and business — in that order — a philosophy that shapes both his personal life and his approach to partnerships.

When he's not connecting talent with opportunity, you'll find Kael outdoors on the waters around Vancouver Island, cycling the region's trails, or fishing with family and friends. He brings the same energy and dedication to his passions outside the office as he does to his work.
