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.

害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 the perfect sweet spot 害羞草研究所� a summer and winter destination. It害羞草研究所檚 a year-round playground. Kelowna is the 害羞草研究所楪oldilocks story害羞草研究所� town, it害羞草研究所檚 not too big, it害羞草研究所檚 not too small. It害羞草研究所檚 just right.害羞草研究所�

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

害羞草研究所淢y mom害羞草研究所檚 a real go-getter and my dad is your typical farmer; he just enjoys farming. Even when he doesn害羞草研究所檛 have a lot to do, he害羞草研究所檒l find something.

Asked what he loves about working in real estate, he says: 害羞草研究所淚 genuinely enjoy the feeling I get when I know I害羞草研究所檝e done a good job 害羞草研究所� when I know my clients are extremely happy.害羞草研究所�

Discussing style and fashion, Manny says he really enjoys fashion and, although he loves his casual wear, when it comes to work, he害羞草研究所檚 always suited up (脿 la Harvey Specter of the television show Suits).

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.
