I meet Manny at in to drool over beautiful bikes and chat with him about life and style, starting with his love for the Okanagan, which, I quickly learn, runs deep.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 the perfect sweet spot B次元官网网址� a summer and winter destination. ItB次元官网网址檚 a year-round playground. Kelowna is the B次元官网网址楪oldilocks storyB次元官网网址� town, itB次元官网网址檚 not too big, itB次元官网网址檚 not too small. ItB次元官网网址檚 just right.B次元官网网址�

Manny grew up in , the son of fruit farmers. He credits his parents with instilling in him a strong work ethic and respectful manner.

B次元官网网址淢y momB次元官网网址檚 a real go-getter and my dad is your typical farmer; he just enjoys farming. Even when he doesnB次元官网网址檛 have a lot to do, heB次元官网网址檒l find something. We were brought up to be very respectful. ItB次元官网网址檚 so deeply instilled in me that itB次元官网网址檚 just part of who I am B次元官网网址� I donB次元官网网址檛 have to try to be polite, I just generally am that way.B次元官网网址�

Asked what he loves about working in real estate, he says: B次元官网网址淚 genuinely enjoy the feeling I get when I know IB次元官网网址檝e done a good job B次元官网网址� when I know my clients are extremely happy.B次元官网网址�

Discussing style and fashion, Manny says he really enjoys fashion and, although he loves his casual wear, when it comes to work, heB次元官网网址檚 always suited up (脿 la Harvey Specter of the television show Suits).

B次元官网网址淚 think good style is about having a sense of what youB次元官网网址檙e all about and then wearing that with confidence.B次元官网网址�

The 30-year-old admits that his life outside of work is pretty much consumed with raising his new son, now a one-year-old. But when can, he still manages to get out on his bike.

B次元官网网址淲ith a busy work and life schedule, IB次元官网网址檝e found that it is the best way to clear my head. Most of the time I donB次元官网网址檛 even know where IB次元官网网址檓 going; itB次元官网网址檚 my mediation, it helps quiet and focus my mind.B次元官网网址�
