President – Janitor

Well, I guess I am the boss but being a small business I pretty much do everything,  I grew up helping out quite a bit till my late teens, then I ventured out on my own and I have been self employed pretty much all my life in several different businesses importing, distributing, manufacturing, construction, exporting, software, as you can tell I move around a lot I seem to get bored. Back in 2004, I was between businesses and the store was going through a transition when my brother Lou asked me if I wanted to be partners and I have been here ever since. In 2007 we drew straws and I lost, I got the honour of working twice as much and making half as much, while my brother Luigi (He prefers that over Lou 🙂 ) ventured into landscape, for a little more free time (he likes to golf).

I find retail to be the most challenging business that I have been in and I would not have it any other way, I definitely do not get bored- every day is a battle. I lose some & win some, but in the end I will win the war of the retail landscape (hope for the best, plan for the worst).

I am blessed with two beautiful, intelligent & energetic daughters, my young one Jessica works with me and it’s a joy to have her help me, my eldest Sabrina is going to post secondary school for fashion design it’s amazing seeing her transform from a girl to a young lady.
