I am a seasoned executive leader with a rich 35-year history of cultivating high-performing teams within Tier 1 organizations, implementing cutting-edge business solutions, and consistently exceeding objectives. Renowned for my exceptional communication skills, I possess the foresight to anticipate business hurdles and translate strategic visions into tangible achievements. My motivational approach, coupled with a keen sense of urgency and entrepreneurial flair, has enabled me to effectively influence both internal and external stakeholders, fostering environments conducive to success.

My passion for creatively managing challenging business scenarios, reshaping existing dynamics, and pioneering innovative solutions to address operational hurdles is palpable. Having traversed various regions of Canada throughout my career, I’ve honed my skills in cross-functional team leadership, rapid technology adoption, and a steadfast commitment to driving bottom-line profits. Moreover, I’ve had the privilege of learning from esteemed mentors at the C-Suite level, hailing from diverse backgrounds and countries, enriching my leadership repertoire.

As a neuro-diverse leader, I am poised to leverage my extensive expertise in fostering high-performing teams within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), guiding them towards unparalleled success. My recent engagement with numerous small businesses through the Canada Digital Adoption Program has reinforced my passion for this thriving sector of Canadian business. Presently serving as a TEC Canada Chair, I bring forth my vast knowledge and leadership acumen to mentor and support fellow small business leaders in their professional endeavors.

On a personal note, I am originally from Truro, Nova Scotia, and grew up in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. I pursued my education at Saint Mary’s University and have called Stouffville, Ontario, home for the past 23 years. My journey has been enriched by the support of my wife, Linda, of 32 years, along with our three children. Outside of my professional life, I am an avid hockey enthusiast, having served as a High Performance Trained coach for over four decades. Presently, I derive immense joy from coaching a boys U-13 AA Team, cherishing every moment spent on the ice with them.
