I am a seasoned CEO, Director, investor, small airline operator, writer, presenter, entrepreneur and bush pilot.I've had the opportunity to run and contribute to multiple endeavours across the business spectrum. Included are industrial real estate, industrial contracting, the agro sector, tourism, the political arena, aviation and consulting. I'm thrilled to embark on a new journey in industrial real estate, leveraging my expertise to connect businesses with strategic solutions that drive growth and success in an ever-evolving market.Fortunately, I've had the opportunity to commercially operate bush planes on the West and East Coasts of North America, the far Arctic and the Caribbean. I co-founded and operated a successful seaplane company named Georgian Bay Airways for 15 years. My responsibilities included: business development and sales, marketing, budgeting, large and small scale presentations, human resources, corporate strategies, as well as liaison with government bodies such as Transport Canada and fleet maintenance.Through my various business endeavours, I have learned that recognizing, recruiting and cultivating talent are the hallmarks of solid leadership. I know when to provide guidance and when to let good people just do their job. Being a two term elected Town Council member has taught me how to balance infrastructure and commerce with basic human rights and needs. By taking on the task of reinvigorating the Town of Parry Sound, which led to its first growth spurt in decades, I've reinforced my love of taking something wonderful and helping it grow. Economic development is hard, but once I started the heavy lifting crucial momentum has been gained.My background in environmentalism works hand in hand with my innate curiosity about the natural world around me. National work in aboriginal engagement and industrial contracting in the mineral sector has allowed me to understand the vast depth of our most precious resources both human and otherwise. This body of work has left me well traveled and fluent in the business of aviation, industry, culture and human nature. I like to spend my leisure time with my three children and wife exploring, laughing and loving.
