Meet Our Team

As the founding partner, we respectfully call him Mr. Victor. He takes most of the credit for the current industry recognition and repeated client referrals to VictorEric Premium Homes. He may be merely a figurehead, but since our other founding partner insists on being so humble, Mr. Victor happily accepts praise on behalf of the firm. This is his sole responsibility to the company, aside from lending his most excellent name which, not coincidentally, means winner.

Eric Lee (eric@victoreric.com): Principal

Eric has been a building design over-achiever since he received his first lego set as a toddler. In fact, he designed his first house when he was only 18 years of age. Since then, he has amassed an impressive career portfolio and been recognized with several design awards and accolades for his work. A naturally gifted and self-taught designer, Eric started with humble family beginnings, as new immigrants to Canada in 1979.

Eric has extensive experience in construction and design, thanks to his early involvement in his family’s development business. He is a multi-disciplinary designer; be it architectural, interior design or graphic design, Eric has an eye for a clean aesthetic. The many awards he has garnered over the years are a direct result of the passion he brings to his work and projects. But above all else, Eric is a great listener. He has a natural skill to listen, interpret, and deliver what his clients want. This is probably the reason so many of his clients have become good friends in the process of building their homes.

Eric has a love for motorcycling and adventure. He is the kind of free spirit that will one day be riding a motorcycle around the world, making friends all along the way.

Paul Zhan (pzhan@victoreric.com): Designer & Asian Client Relations

Paul studied Architectural Design at the South China University of Technology. After working many years in the architectural, interior and graphic design industries, he realized that his true passion was for interior design. He established and operated a successful interior design firm in Guangzhou for four years before coming to Canada.

Upon arriving to Vancouver, he studied in the BCIT Building Design program so he could learn the local standards and methods of design and construction. Paul’s second love to design is photography. He spent the end of the year 2000 traveling from South China to Tibet, taking photos along the way. In his words, “it was an experiece that lasts a lifetime!”

Paul admits he has found a home here in Vancouver and at VictorEric where he can fulfill his passion for design and love for servicing clients.

Jay Pooke (jpooke@victoreric.com): Interior Designer

Jay thinks he caught the design “bug” from his grandfather, who built houses. Even as a youngster, he appreciated the work and effort that went into designing and building. What drives Jay is the poetry of seeing things come together, and “the feeling” afterwards that is shared by the homeowner, the builders and the designers. That sense of pride, and of accomplishment. Designing great spaces and detailing are hallmarks of Jay’s contribution to the process at VictorEric.

With an IT and Civil Engineering background to complement his formal design education, Danson has worked on large scale provincial projects, designing highways and creating municipal infrastructures for the province of B.C.

Ronaldo Alvaro ( ralvaro@victoreric.com) : Architectural Designer

Deeply influenced by his artistic father, Ronaldo grew a talent that would help him decide what to be growing up. He had a choice between an architect, a culinary chef, a computer graphics designer, or a car designer. His passion stood strong for architecture, leading to his enrolment at the University of Calgary to become an architect.  However, his education path changed and continued his formal training to be an Architectural Technologist instead. It ended up being a good decision for him because after working with architects at previous architect firms, it seemed like all they would do is type emails all day.  Through his eyes, the path to being an architect became less appealing.  Afterall, Ronaldo agrees with Eric’s famous quote, “I’m NOT an architect.”

Ronaldo’s six years of experience in commercial architecture and facility development brings a different viewpoint to our residential design firm.  He is excited to learn and develop the skills needed to capture the “feel” of a VictorEric project.  As his first year with VictorEric, we are as excited to learn about his skills as he adapts to custom residential design with us!

Ronaldo is one of the active members of the VictorEric team. He will say yes to biking, going to the gym, hiking, and with his new “fixer-upper” he is now learning to be a “gearhead” (in his words). 

Jantzen Quizon ( jquizon@victoreric.com) : Architectural Designer

Starting as a junior drafter in 2003, Jantzen has been in the architectural design industry ever since his education at Kwantlen Polytenic University in Drafting Technology. Inspired at a young age, Jantzen was exposed to the architectural industry from his father’s side of the family. He has a passion for design along with his obsession to know all details of how things come together. Being an architectural designer was one of Jantzen’s childhood dreams, second to becoming an automotive mechanic. But hey, we all know which one is more glamorous.

Having noted that, on his free time, Jantzen’s passion sits with cars and automobile. He changes cars every now and then, just so that he can try them all, he calls them his “soft spot”. Formerly, he was “eating and breathing” basketball; now he has developed a love for golf and snowboarding. Seeing how Jantzen’s hobbies are slowly progressing to the gentle side, it is not surprising that he has recently picked up photography as well. He is passionate for life and truly believes that life is short. As procrastination is his enemy, he is spontaneous and outgoing, always up for anything, and is an explorer to what life has to offer!

Bruce Van Hunenstijn (bvan@victoreric.com): Construction Team Lead & Site Supervisor

Bruce has a natural talent for problem solving. Like how Bill Gates understands a computer; Bruce is very much at home with anything mechanical. He has been in the construction industry for almost 15 years now and brings with him specialties in plumbing and mechanical systems. His depth of construction knowledge and “can do” attitude serves as a strong foundation for our construction department.

When not building magnificent homes, Bruce treasures every moment with his two adorable sons. Very much a seeker of human potential, he strives to better himself in every way be it in Karate competitions, running a marathon, or just the super dad that he is.

Mike has been all over the construction industry. After his studies at Sheridan College in Brampton, Ontario in the field of Architectural Technology, he has worked on all kinds of residential and commercial projects.

After seven years of professional experiences, he has chosen to continue growing with VictorEric as a site assistant to apply his construction experiences.  

Mike’s passion for construction bloomed when he worked for a building supplies company at a younger age and was inspired to study architectural technology. He had a strong desire to learn more about how materials come together to produce a finished product. He enjoys seeing how a house evolves from day to day; from a simple sketch turned into a beautiful home.

To accompany Mike’s outgoing personality, he loves to spend his free time outdoors. On the weekends, you can find him biking, camping, surfing and snowboarding. He probably won’t admit it to his friends back east, but Vancouver is where his heart is at.

This special blend of experience gives her insight to the housing market and often helps our clients search for that perfect building lot. As also our Project Coordinator, Janey finds fulfillment in helping to orchestrate the construction process for our clients.
