In 2001 I founded The Muskoka Theatre Project, the only professional company in the region. It was primarily an extension of Words Talk Productions, focusing on original live theatre projects. Many of the projects went on to be sold to other companies and/or won awards. I developed MTP's mandate to emphasize the performing talents engaging some of Canada's top actors, directors, choreographers and musicians for each project.

I have personally been buying and selling homes and cottages since 1985. I finally got my license in 2003 because of the number of people who came to me for advice, especially when buying a cottage. As Dini Petty said on her show "Vince is this country's authority on cottaging." Selling real estate compliments my creative and producing career. I approach each client's situation using the creative and leadership skills obtained through entertainment production in addition to accumulated experience in the various aspects of the cottage lifestyle.
