I lead initiatives supporting the creation of Newfoundland’s first Innovation Centre.

As the Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) I mentor and advise aspiring entrepreneurs at my Alma mater. Having been an entrepreneur since the age of 15, it's great to be able to share my experiences and collaborate with students, faculty, and staff who are trying to solve problems and create global businesses! I have worked with nearly 400 entrepreneurs during my time at MCE.In October 2019 the Memorial Centre for Entrepreneurship (MCE) was named one of the top five emerging entrepreneurship centers in the world by the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers. In 2020 MCE was again named one of the top emerging entrepreneurship centers in the world.Several of the startups to come out of MCE, including several of the startups I have personally mentored have raised millions of dollars in financing, and are now global firms or have been acquired by global companies. These companies include Mysa, CoLab, BreathSuite, InspectAR, and others.

Safa used AI to reduce employment-related risks for employers and insurers, while simultaneously improving the lives of employees. Safa's machine learning algorithms and management platform allowed employers to predict who was going to quit or become ill or disabled before it happened. It allowed companies to be proactive, identify weaknesses in their HR management and operational processes, and correct them. The company focused on the hospitality industry, but with the rise of COVID-19, the company ceased operations when the entire global hospitality industry effectively closed in early 2020.

A Personal Care Home (PCH) for seniors located in St. John's, NL. At the time of construction it was the largest level 1 & 2 PCH in Newfoundland and Labrador. Cambridge was also the first luxury PCH in the Province, carving out a new market where one didn't exist before and remaining the only company offering this level of service for several years. Cambridge was sold to a national firm in 2009.

After having opened Cambridge Estates, I was fortunate enough to have been asked to teach a business course at the College's Doha campus for one semester. Cambridge Estates was doing well and so I felt comfortable going. I taught Qataris who worked for QTel, the national telecom company. While there I got to know so many people from countless countries around the world. I was able to visit other countries in the region and beyond. I learned so much about other cultures and formed great friendships with people from very diverse backgrounds.

As Globalstudent.com (predecessor being munworld.com), the company provided services for students online such as a book exchange and a social network. We built a predictive advertising engine in the late 1990's that would customize ads for individuals, long before Google made it the norm. While having to explain to potential advertising clients what the Internet was and why they should advertise on it, we also had to explain how we "know" what you want to buy. They were not familiar with artificial intelligence and didn't understand how we could build customized ads "on the fly." At the time, we didn't even know what we were doing was AI, we just tried to build a solution that was better than what we saw was currently available so we would stand out.We decided to pivot after starting as a "dot com" company. The company evolved in to a software development company to take advantage of the advanced technologies it developed. TwoLofts was created to provide collaborative and learning solutions to companies. We created one of the earliest e-learning platforms, today called an LMS (learning management system), to deliver North American educational content to the Asian market.I started the company when on a work term with the government, bored to tears. I wrote the business plan during my first work term and my second (and third) work term was with my company. While a full time student I had seven full time employees and within a year of graduation we had raised additional capital and grew to over 20 people. The company gave me the opportunity present to and meet with individuals across North America and China. My time in these locations allowed my "international education" to continue by being immersed in different environments with people from diverse backgrounds.

I started my first company at the age of 15 when I opened Corner Brook's first comic book store out of my parents basement. As a junior high school student I would buy from a wholesaler in Toronto. To reduce risk, I would have people order their comics from a catalogue (this was before the Internet). This would mean I never had much inventory because every comic I ordered was sold before it arrived. I could better manage my cash flow this way.I owned a Dickie Dee ice cream franchise while in high school which paid for my first year in university. Throughout university I sold lottery tickets for the Million Dollar Draw, a fundraiser for the 1999 Canada Winter Games. The top sales group was minor hockey with over 3,000 kids selling the tickets. The second top salesperson was me. I set up 416 distributors across Newfoundland and northern Alberta to sell the tickets. I set up and managed these distributors while doing my B.Comm degree full time.In between or at the same time I had some of these companies I often attempted other startups.
