ABOUT US
The “Kutting Krew” first came about in 1991 when three Ryerson business students needed a summer job. The name came from the popular 80’s band as one of the partners was a DJ at the time. The tri-partnership only lasted a short time unfortunately, and Keith kept the name and moved on. He then began developing business in Leaside, Richmond Hill, Unionville and Willowdale in the following years. The business started out of his parents basement, using the family station wagon, and a Canadian Tire lawn mower. Soon he met his future wife Christy, and she helped grow the business into what it is today. Now living in the St. Clair / O’Connor area, business relies mostly on referrals and our visibility in the neighbourhood.
Keith
Keith always had a keen interest in business and has enjoyed working on growing Kutting Krew since the beginning. After finishing his Bachelor of Commerce, he focused full time on improving year after year. He likes to work all the aspects of the job, and see customers as much as possible. When not at this job, he enjoys working on his other business of real estate, and renting property. Leisure time is meant for travelling, walking the dogs, tennis and table tennis, swimming up north, and cheering all our Toronto sports teams.
Christy
Christy met Keith in 1993 and quickly discovered their shared interest in financial management, real estate and travel. They married in 1997, but she’s been a part of the Kutting Krew since 1994. In 1999, they bought their first investment property together, a cottage on Minden Lake in Haliburton. Christy had owned property prior to that in Ohio. A graduate of Ohio State, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education, she has helped with work in the field, but is now focused on managing the office. In the off-season Christy and Keith enjoy traveling, having visited seven continents, will be focusing on seeing capital cities around the world.
