I have been personally invested the commercial real estate and land development industry since 1983. I have a highly successful 39 year background in land development having been directly involved in over 1,000,000 sq ft of development, in over 35 projects, most activity in the commercial retail sector. While there is always something new to learn every day, which I welcome with enthusiasm, this depth of experience has given me the ability to understand and navigate all facets of land development. I derive great personal satisfaction solving the myriad of issues and hurdles facing any land development project. I have performed these tasks successfully for several years as a self-employed participant. I look forward to one day sharing this experience with others. www.dalon.ca

Director Of Real Estate, Western CanadaMovie Gallery Jan 2001 - Dec 2005Movie Gallery was the third largest video retailer in North America and became number 2 when it took over assets and stores of Video Update. I was maintained as the Real Estate Director and given the role to roll out the brand growth in Western Canada and Alaska. This was a very successful run for me where I managed to negotiate and secure over 120 new store locations and the acquisition of a further 220 stores. I completed extensive travel and developed a very strong real estate contact network. In the end, my new store growth created the group of stores with the highest EBITDA Cash Flow performance in all North America store development, earning me excellent performance bonuses. I was told that my key site selection, competition out-positioning, and intensive deal negotiations were the basis of my success. Movie Gallery collapsed in late 2005 under the burden of an industry in serious decline.
