background

For more than 40 years I have been a person who embraces new ideas and change especially in the use of technology and e-commerce.

I have a great deal of experience having been involved with numerous start-ups and fundraising campaigns. During the past 8 years as a consultant, as a business advisor and coach/mentor, I have worked with clients solving investment, business planning, sales and marketing challenges.

All of these experiences have led me to business and personal connections with hundreds of people in Canada and the US and an ability to draw on this talented and eclectic pool of associates when I need them.

My wife Mary and I live in beautiful St Andrews by the Sea. Our daughter Carrie lives in Vancouver and our son Michael lives in New York City.
We are all entrepreneurs each having had our own companies and each having challenged the status quo.
Perhaps it is because the first generation on my mother's side came to North America in the early 1600's and survival meant meeting and addressing life's challenges with enthusiasm and a sense of adventure. It kind of gets programmed into you after a while.
