A born entrepreneur, from a young age I have built and sold several successful businesses. I have over 35 years of experience in the construction industry and hold a degree in marketing and advertising.

In 1999-2001, I helped build Hyperchip, an internet startup building core routers, from 6 employees to over 300 as Director of IT. I also served in the Canadian Forces as a pilot, started two successful businesses and sailed offshore for 2 years. I am the proud father of two children, and our family was the recipient of the "Family of the Year" award (2007) for BC and the Yukon. I studied at SFU and graduated with a BSc.
