I believe strong leadership is about bringing people together to solve tough challenges and create opportunities for everyone. As Director, Western Canada for Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, I work every day to combat antisemitism and hate, expand access to human rights education, and build bridges across diverse communities in partnership with schools, governments, and civic organizations.

My career has always been rooted in service and results. In business, I led teams at global technology companies such as Hootsuite, Taplytics, and BroadbandTV, where I drove innovation, grew revenue, and built partnerships across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. In public life, I stepped forward as a candidate for both Vancouver City Council and the BC Legislature in Vancouver-Langara, championing safer communities, stronger healthcare, and economic growth. Whether in the boardroom or in public service, I focus on bringing people together, finding practical solutions, and delivering measurable results.

In 2024, I chaired the Public Affairs Subcommittee of the Antisemitism and Israel Crisis Response Team at the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver, working directly with elected officials to develop policies that strengthened community safety and security.

Community advocacy is deeply personal to me. After losing my father to leukemia, I helped raise $12.5 million to establish Canada’s national public cord blood bank. I continue that work today as a board member for CLEAR, advancing critical Alzheimer’s research in B.C.

I have been honoured to receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal for contributions to Canadian society and to be selected as a 2024 Wexner Fellow, joining a two-year leadership development program that connects emerging Jewish leaders across North America through intensive study. My journey has taken me from journalist and CFL broadcaster to MBA valedictorian at the Rotman School of Management and now to community leader, shaped throughout by listening, learning, and working hard to deliver impact.

Based in Vancouver with my wife and three children, I remain focused on building a safer, healthier, and more inclusive society where opportunity, security, and community are the foundation for every family’s success.
