Dennis at the age of 17 made his first of two trips to Hong Kong, where his father was stationed with the Canadian Government. He and his own family have visited several islands in the Caribbean and enjoyed the fun and sun of Florida. He has travelled across Canada and lived in different cities in both Ontario and Quebec. Yet, Ottawa is the home to which Dennis always returns.

Be it a walk through the nature trails, mall shopping or a ride along the miles of bicycle paths that meander through the region, Ottawa is where Dennis' heart resides.

Married for over 30 years, Dennis is totally dedicated to his wife Madeleine and their two daughters Michelle and Pamela.

He's a family man who, while his daughters were growing up took an active interest in their activities such as gymnastics, dancing and diving. At times he simply acted as chauffeur for them and their friends. At other times, he worked on organizing committees or played chaperone at out of town competitive sporting meets. During this same period Dennis managed to find some time to teach evening courses in Effective Parenting at Colonel By High School in Beacon Hill.

Since 1992 Dennis has even climbed into his clown costume and played CoCo the Clown at an annual United Way fund raising event. Seldom did these activities seem a chore to him because he loves being with people of all ages. Dennis attributes his success in managing a busy schedule to his positive attitude, a sense of humor and genuine desire to reach out to others. He believes that whether it was during his 24 year career with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), or since entering the field of real estate, he has always been in the people business. Dennis began his career with Royal Lepage Real Estate services in 1998 and joined the Anne & Dwight Team in December 2001.

Dennis has received the RE/MAX Presidents Club award and RE/MAX Executive Awards for outstanding sales achievement. A portion of every commission received by Dennis is donated to The Children's Miracle Network to benefit The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
