More ABOUT
ME

When I'm not talking about entrepreneurship, my focus is on family and community

As a lifelong entrepreneur, I'm passionate about helping others to experience the joy that comes from being your own boss. All of my work is centred around encouraging entrepreneurship and supporting entrepreneurs.

I write about starting a small business, speak about starting a business, help big brands to connect with small business owners and, most importantly, I advise startup entrepreneurs. Check out some of my other websites and videos below. As someone who is now 50, I am increasingly focused on helping "50-something startups."

​

My more important roles are husband to my wife Tina and father to my two young children named Kaitlyn and Connor. I'm also quite fond of our family dog, Cinder. I'm a volunteer Scout Leader (that's me with my son Connor), a member of Toastmasters, a member of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, a member of a political party and a member of The Toronto Board of Trade. 

​

I like to run, workout in the gym, and distance cycle. And I am a lousy poker player.

​

I'm also a survivor. In 2017, I was hospitalized for a rare infection that led to Septic Shock. My organs shut down and I went into a coma. I was breathing through a respirator. The doctors told my wife that I would likely die. Thankfully, I fought my way back to life, but recovery wasn't easy – plenty of kidney dialysis and rehabilitation. Coming out of that terrible time, I've found a new energy and appreciation for life.

​

That's enough about me! I hope we can work together. Please contact me anytime.
