His scaffold design greenhouse and reclaimed wood patents has leveled-up into a franchise.

During his interview, he was often asked why he mix tour guiding with real estate. He said, “If you want tourism to be economically sustainable, the community should have an avenue to run their collective enterprise while tourist will also have a means to be part of the community through a piece of property that they can invest on with economic return over time”. His statement is often fallowed by “How?”. He often smile and says, “By putting up a school of innovation that offers practical and enterprising green and socially responsive concepts, members of the community are empowered to invest and appreciate the influx of tourist.

His last words in all his interview was “After all, there is no such thing as best tour guide, only a guide wanting to be among the best.”
