I have lived here all my life. Bauline. Flatrock. Torbay. Pouch Cove, right into Logy Bay/Middle Cove/Outer Cove and Portugal Cove/St. Phillips. It’s funny how well you get to know an area; the streets and hideaways; the people.
It’s been pretty special to serve the communities I grew up in, I live in, I raised my family in. Finding the right people for the right places builds our community in so many ways.

My family lives in Flatrock, where I have served for 20 years as a volunteer firefighter with the Torbay Volunteer Fire Department. I’ve played in and sponsored the Torbay Men’s Slow Pitch League. Encouraging my neighbours to keep active by coaching and being a past sponsor of the Killick Coast Regional Games for youth, being a past sponsor for rowers in the Royal St. John’s Regatta, and by supporting fellow runners at local events, makes me feel good and let’s me spend time with the people around me. That’s what it’s all about.
Now, this one makes me chuckle a bit. If you see this guy running around Flatrock, Torbay, and beyond – it might be me. Running around, as in ‘working hard for my clients’, also literally as a distance runner! I run to challenge myself to go further. Cue the jokes about going ‘the extra mile’ for my clients and neighbours. But I do say that I approach each home purchase or sale like I approach a marathon: with you every step of the way until we cross the finish line! And then maybe a little victory lap.
Just as life in the community I love continues to evolve, so has my career. I have built my knowledge of home-building and housing from the ground up – every job I’ve ever had has been home-related. First, as a Certified Electrical Technician and Engineering Technologist, working as a Project Manager for K&P Contracting. Since then, with Sutton Group in the Northeast Avalon, as I began my own business, BNJ Home Builders. Today, my real estate career with Hanlon Realty continues to help me develop new neighbourhoods and find the right folks for the right homes.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me better – I look forward to returning the favour!
