Sales Manager

Colin grew up in Oakville and moved to Guelph with his wife in 2019. They have since welcomed 2 girls to their family and are proud to call Guelph home.

In his (rare) spare time, Colin will likely be seen out driving, or at a car show of some sort with his wife and daughters in tow. Colin grew up in Oakville and moved to Guelph with his wife in 2019.
