AN INTRODUCTION

My Journey

What do you care about? What’s most important to you?
Family and friends are at the centre of my universe. Being present as a husband, father and brother is very important to me. With regards to my “business family”, creating an environment where each member is able to learn and grow makes everyone better.

Where have you been?

I grew up in London, Ontario, with my mother, father and two older sisters. From a young age, I excelled at sports, eventually swimming through high school and University. I had difficulty applying myself at school and fell far short scholastically, of my athletic achievements. Eventually, I managed to attain an Honours Bachelor of Political Science degree from McMaster University in 1996.

Shortly after graduating from University, I began a career in Policing, which lasted 18 years. Policing however, never satisfied my desire to feel successful and so in 2015, I resigned and incorporated Hanlyn Property Management. I have NEVER looked back.


Where are you going?

As a business owner, I am driven to create a company culture beyond that of any other property management company in the world. The team we have created thus far is incredible and the foundation is there to support exponential growth. My desire is to lead the Hanlyn team to extraordinary levels and to create an environment where everyone learns, grows and experiences success.

Some nuggets worth sharing.

I always knew in athletics, that hard work and pushing day in and day out paid off, but never applied it to school or my career in Policing. It was not until I started on my entrepreneurial path, that I began to apply the same principal. When things go wrong, and they will, remember where you are headed long term, put your head down and work towards it. Keep plugging away, even when your day, your week or your month just aren’t going the way you hoped.

DAVE’S MESSAGE TO PROSPECTIVE MEMBERS

TEC 720 has been transformational for me, both as a person and as a business owner. Had I not joined TEC 720, I feel that my business would be existing in mediocrity. Having a chair like Joe Fera who is always ready to serve and a group of individuals with as much experience and willingness to share is a game changer.

Joining TEC 720 has been the best investment of my life.

WORDS FROM JOE ABOUT DAVE

Dave is the consummate thoughtful leader. He mixes authenticity of caring for his team, his clients, and tenants with a determination and discipline to lift all to new levels, including himself. It has been a privilege to witness Dave’s personal, leadership and business growth. He truly models being a leader who embraces a balance of humility, and the determination to continue the never-ending growth towards becoming his best version for his life partner, his children, his business partner, his employees, his clients and their clients, his peers in TEC 720 and for himself.

We are all better for having Dave in our lives.
