He/Him

You’ll see Neil on the sales floor, at local events and in the community. Securing the most exclusive eyewear lines and collaborating with other creative people is just a little bit of what he’s all about.

Neil is a graduate in Honours English from the University of Waterloo with an International Teaching License. Neil began working in the optical industry in 2006, buying high-end lines, marketing and relationship-building locally and abroad. Neil’s favourite lines are Blake Kuwahara, TAVAT, Bruno Chaussignand, Jean Philippe Joly and Vinylize. He loves listening to female rap music, hiking with his rescue pup Derbalicious, backcountry camping, functional fitness, creative writing and reading fantastical stories. The best local independent businesses, according to Neil, are Atmosphere Cafe, Lost + Found Cafe, and Rising Moon Gallery.
