As President of Smith and Long since 2009, I have had the honour of leading our dynamic team through an extraordinary period of growth and innovation. My passion for fostering a culture of forward-thinking leadership has been instrumental in propelling Smith and Long to new heights. At the heart of our company is a commitment to delivering unparalleled service and technical expertise to our clients across Canada. Since our establishment in 1930, Smith and Long has been synonymous with quality and reliability, and it has been my mission to build upon that legacy. I firmly believe that true leadership is about inspiring and encouraging others to reach their full potential.My leadership journey began when I co-founded LiveHive Systems and learned the importance of strategic vision and effective communication in driving business growth. Throughout my career, I’ve been committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, whether it's forging partnerships with renowned broadcast entities (ESPN, NBC, FOX) and leading corporations (Lexus, Coca-Cola) or expanding our product offerings into new global markets. In my entrepreneurial adventures, I gained invaluable experience in corporate environments, including roles at Microsoft in Seattle and Ontario Power Generation. These experiences shaped my approaches to leadership, instilling in me a deep appreciation for innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.At Smith and Long, I have had the privilege of working alongside a talented and dedicated team that shares my vision for excellence. Together, we’ve tackled some of the industry’s most challenging projects, from the Eglinton Crosstown LRT transit expansion to the construction of cutting-edge data centres for major corporations. As Smith and Long continues to expand its national presence, we are committed to being a single source for all of Canada, meeting and exceeding client expectations across the country. As I lead Smith and Long into the future, my focus remains on empowering our team to achieve their goals and surpass our clients’ expectations.
