A Canadian entrepreneur and Managing Director working at the intersection of design-build, business growth, governance, real estate, and big ideas.
When I look back at my own resume, it honestly surprises me a little.
Somehow, over the past couple of decades, I've gone from software development and startup ideas to manufacturing, acquisitions, governance, design-build projects, entrepreneurship, and boardrooms. Some of it was carefully planned. A lot of it wasn't.
These days I'm the Managing Director of a Canadian design-build manufacturing organization, sit on boards in financial services, host a podcast about people shaping the built environment, and quietly chip away at a handful of long-term real estate and development projects on the side.
I've always felt more comfortable talking through big ideas, solving complex problems with a team, and figuring things out as we go. At the end of the day, I still feel more like a builder than a corporate executive.

A 100-acre lakefront property and long-term family-and-friends development project. Part retreat, part outdoor playground, part future idea factory. The kind of place where campfires, bad ideas, good ideas, and future plans all seem to happen at the same time.

Two decades, several businesses, a Canadian design-build operation, a few boards, an MBA somewhere in the middle, and a long list of things that didn't go to plan. Most of it more interesting in retrospect than it felt at the time.
