I have a diverse range of trial, mediation/arbitration and courtroom experience. I have worked for over 20 years in the areas of personal injury and personal injury defence. I have presented cases, whether tort jury trial or an accident benefits case, in a strategic manner. I have the ability to distill complex issues to their constituent core in an efficient manner. Effectiveness may require pursuing resolution outside of the courtroom and I am adept at finding common interests to conclude disputes through negotiation and in the mediation setting. I have completed the Successful Negotiation: Essential Strategies and Skills course from the University of Michigan and use these negotiation and mediation strategies in representing clients. Clients are well served by my precise and pragmatic approach.I have business experience outside of the law having worked as the Business Development Manager of a Reward and Recognition company managing multiple employee engagement initiatives. The company used a Software-as-a-Solution (SaaS) platform to provide rewards and recognition services to many corporations across several sectors. I was among the first in Canada to receive designation as a Certified Engagement Practioner. I utilize the skills and experience from this field in handling all legal matters.Within my own practice, I have counselled clients in the areas of family law, employment, landlord and condo management and responsibilities as well as immigration. Within the community, I contribute my time to the Oakville Hornets Girls Hockey Association, the Minor Oaks Hockey Association as coach, manager and referee and Oakville Little League in the same capacities. I volunteer with the March of Dimes, Canadian Cancer Society, the Arthritis Society and the Streetsville United Church Food Bank. I served as a member of the Board of Directors of the TDIY Colo/Rectal Cancer Foundation. I am the father of three amazing and accomplished children. I am an avid golfer, home cook, and enjoy fishing and reading self-improvement books.
