I am the Founder and CEO of The Metric Group, a global marketing and design agency that specializes in brand development through physical and digital experiences. My story is a familiar one, the one about a guy with an idea starting a thing in his garage with no money that somehow took off and created a path in life he did not expect. The one where he sounds lucky because only the results are visible, not the struggles. I skipped the path to university and instead started a company in e-commerce during the dot com boom of the early 2000's. The successes and failures there paved the way to owning multiple companies and start-ups in various industries through my 20's and into my 30's. With each failure came knowledge that made the next venture more successful. I truly believe anybody can be their own boss if they take a leap of faith and I take great pleasure in helping others with that journey when able to.
