My professional career over the past forty years has taken me around the world. Beginning in Canada, after graduating from business school, I managed several department store operations in Alberta and British Columbia before joining Duty-Free Shoppers (DFS) Group, the world’s largest travel retailer in 1995. I spent 8 years with DFS Group, often involved in construction, and managing multiple locations with sales volumes up to $200,000,000 in Asia and the United States.In each operation, I participated in every aspect of the business including operations, merchandising, vendor relations, human resources, business development, sales, marketing, budgeting, team development, and strategic planning. I helped develop and open new businesses in Canada, Hong Kong, South Korea, Vietnam, and the United States. I purchased a “Business Coaching and Training” franchise in 2002, where I was trained and Certified by the world’s largest business coaching team and was eventually named the “Canadian Coach of the Year” in 2006, before leaving to form Kaizen Business Development in 2007. I have been successfully coaching business owners in Canada and the US for 18 years now, and for the past 3 years, I have focused my practice specifically on residential building contractors. One of my core values is “continuous improvement”. This principle recognizes that there is rarely one answer or solution to our personal and business development problems. To be successful, individuals and organizations must be open to learning and making incremental changes and improvements all the time. In my 19 years in business and 21 years of guiding business owners, I have studied, practiced, and learned how important “self-awareness” and “personal responsibility” are in getting the results we want in our businesses and our lives. That coupled with simplifying business fundamentals and developing new habits, will make the difference between life on a “treadmill” and the life you want and deserve. I was running my coaching company, primarily for contractors and builders, until January 2021 when the Association of Professional Builders acquired my company and I joined the team as an Executive Business Coach. I currently live in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada with my wife Angie, and our two adult children Theo and Dia.

Listed skills include Business Planning, Strategy, Leadership, Team Building, and 46 others.
