Mike McKenna started ReFound in 2014.

Mike is the Owner and President of ReFound. He is part of the team at Royal Lepage Anchor Realty and also a registered Canadian Personal Property Appraiser.

Following a career as a sales assistant in the automotive retail industry, where he managed a team focused on excellent customer service, he returned to university to obtain a Bachelor of Education. He spent the next 10 years as a teacher with the Halifax Regional School Board, working as a Special Education teacher at Dartmouth High School.

Drawing on the connections he made in the community, as well as his experience with helping his parents to downsize, he saw a need for a local company to help people transition through the downsizing process. While he knew he’d miss his students, he decided to serve the community in a different way.

He opened the ReFound shop in 2014, at 5 Thistle Street – a shop that many Dartmouthians refer to as the “old McCormick’s Corner Store.”
