• President; Managing Broker

    David spent over a decade working as a certified elevator mechanic and Red Seal sheet metal worker before bringing that hands-on expertise to commercial real estate. That background sets him apart — he understands buildings from the inside out, which means sharper decisions on maintenance, capital work, and building operations.

    Now as a licensed Managing Broker, David leads Torrent with the same practical, detail-oriented approach he developed in the trades. He's a member of the Victoria Real Estate Board and believes that good property management is built on genuine relationships — knowing your clients, knowing their properties, and being the kind of broker who picks up the phone.

  • Property Manager and Leasing Agent

    Kabir's career spans three countries and two demanding professions. Trained as an architect in Afghanistan, the United States, and Canada, he developed a deep understanding of how buildings are designed and built. He then spent 21 years managing a successful restaurant — an environment that sharpens exactly the skills property management demands: handling people well, staying composed under pressure, and keeping operations running smoothly.

    Kabir joined Torrent in 2006 and has been a licensed property manager ever since. Clients and tenants alike find that when a difficult situation arises, Kabir has a way of finding the path through it that works for everyone. That instinct for practical, people-first problem solving is something you can't teach — and it shows in the relationships he's built over nearly two decades in Victoria.

  • Office Manager and Bookkeeper

    Tim's career has taken him from the oilfields of northern Alberta to the hospitality industry in Calgary, and eventually to Victoria — where he managed a restaurant steps from the Inner Harbour before launching his own cleaning business, which continues to operate today. Along the way he also earned a diploma in holistic nutrition, a detail that says something about how he approaches most things: with genuine curiosity and a commitment to doing it properly.

    Tim joined Torrent in February 2025, bringing with him years of logistics, operations, and financial management experience across multiple industries. He keeps the office running with a level of precision that the rest of the team has come to rely on — nothing falls through the cracks, and he prefers it that way.

  • Head of Maintenance

    Ryan brings decades of hands-on experience to every job — from general building maintenance and repairs to precision work. His combination of broad practical skill and exacting technical training means there's very little he hasn't seen, and even less he can't fix.

    What sets Ryan apart is his work ethic. He shows up, puts his head down, and doesn't stop until the job is done right. For property owners and tenants, that reliability is everything — when something needs attention, Ryan handles it.
