Born in Toronto, Canada, I was educated at the University of Toronto. I got my Chartered Accountant designation after articling with Price Waterhouse. I am the father of three sons.

I am a senior business strategist and advisor, a CPA and CA with over 40 years of global experience with boards and audit committees, in taking companies public, and in advising and auditing public companies.

I am recognized and respected nationally and internationally as an ambassador and spokesperson for the Canadian capital markets.

My strength is in enabling organizations to become and remain marketplace leaders by capitalizing on every opportunity for collaboration and growth and by helping owners, managers, CEOs, CFOs, audit committees, and board directors achieve their business goals.

I provide practical advice and solutions to management, audit committees, and legal counsel around the world.
