Vimal is a very enthusiastic employee and describes each day at work as new and exciting! He finds job satisfaction in seeing his work come to fruition; from concept plan to people living and enjoying life in their home and community. His major focus, since joining the company in 2009, has been on the massive year-round Friday Harbour Resort on Lake Simcoe in Innisfil. He spends a lot of time at Friday Harbour and gets a thrill from the new energy at this resort now that people are living there, after so many years of planning and construction.
Vimal is a graduate of the University of Waterloo’s unique co-op engineering program. His first full-time position was with a consulting firm as a land development project manager. In 2009, Vimal joined Geranium as a Project Manager, and was later promoted to the position of Director of Land Development at Friday Harbour and Senior Project Manager with Geranium. He heads a team of co-workers and consultants on large-scale land development projects where he believes his engineering background is key.
Outside of work, Vimal loves spending time with his family – wife and two young daughters – playing, swimming, reading stories and unwinding. Vimal feels fortunate to live near family; both sets of grandparents play a huge role in his family’s life. On occasion, Vimal will find time to hit the gym and, in the future, he’d love to visit Thailand with his family.
