AXIS HVAC is a local, 2nd-generation family-owned and operated Heating and Cooling Company. Four years previous, I was approached by a relative to pitch-in and close warm leads on Saturdays. In 2012, I was invited to come onboard fulltime to help grow this company to a Full Service, 4-season, seven-figure enterprise. I researched, supplier-negotiated and eventually launched a new Maintenance and Furnace/AC tune-up division supported in the beginning by 4 online coupon fulfillment sites (Groupon, etc.) which grew to support 2 new fulltime technicians I recruited, adding nearly 30% to the company's bottom line. Combined with aggressive sales and referral activity, a 70% closing rate achieved by positioning the Company, the team and myself as a subject matter experts in the crowded "Value-HVAC" category, and recruiting and hiring Great People who worked tirelessly (thank you Peter, Lucas, Todd, Gabriel and Jenn), we achieved our goal in 18 months and my full-time development work came to an end.

Vincor Canada is a division of Constellation Brands, facing customers locally as The Wine Rack.As a Multistore Manager for Vincor's Wine Rack retail division, I hired, built and managed strong Retail Sales Teams of committed 'Wine Enthusiasts" who, through new training opportunities, raw enthusiasm, and constant motivation, encouragement and compatriotism, turned around the fortunes of two Ottawa Wine Rack outlets - taking them from underperformers to solid revenue generators. Personally congratulated by the Vice-President on 2 separate occasions for my (our) success at Vincor's Rideau Street and Lincoln Fields Wine Rack locations. Took great pride in responsibly serving the vulnerable population in our sales catchment area with empathy, tact and sensitivity.

I recruited, hired, on-boarded and distance-managed a team of Civilian tradespeople to work alongside our Canadian Armed Forces in a base camp environment whilst Canada was actively involved in the Afghan war. The challenge: persuading 'ordinary' Civilians (in reality, those chosen are anything but ordinary) to deploy to one of the harshest environments in the world, Afghanistan, sight unseen. Although physical risks to our people in their location were statistically nil, this was a task requiring a high sense of duty and very high degree of self-discipline, exceptional ability to communicate with empathy, create and build relationships at a profoundly deep level, and understand my employee 'prospects' and their completely unique and highly personal concerns and motivations. This needed to be done in consecutive 8-week cycles.It could not be gotten wrong without extraordinarily high potential consequences.I was required to self-manage with little reliance on others for decision making, and in preparation I completed military Pre-Deployment Training at CFB Kingston alongside our contractors and military personnel to prepare for the discipline this function demands. In June 2010, Canada's well-publicized troop drawdown began, and the bulk of SNC Lavalin PAE's recruiting work in Afghanistan was concluded.
