As an entrepreneur\, he has remained focused on social impact\, keeping a philanthropic approach to the work that he does. Some of his most memorable talks include TEDxStanleyPark\, The United Way as an impact speaker and The Duke of Edinburgh Awards.

It’s through these experiences that he is helping to pave the way for all Canadians to have universal access to the programs\, services and places that they live\, work and play. \n
