A Father, a Dreamer, an Entrepreneur who has learned and continues to learn to live for the present, not the past nor the future. Many life experiences have made me the person I am today but that could change tomorrow.

I try to "relate" with my children on a daily basis and show them as much love as possible. I am their Teacher, not their Dictator. I will not judge my children but allow them to make mistakes and learn from the experience. I will not allow Society make them believe that success only comes from a textbook but from hard work and drive and always pushing forward.

I was lucky that I was brought into this World by loving Parents who are truly "the salt of the Earth". There is not a mean bone in their bodies. My Father was a leader and supported me for whatever path I was choosing in life; he just wanted me to be happy. My mother and my grandmother were the matriarchs of the Family; they made sure we were taken care of and that the house was a home. My brother has always been there for me and is one of the most ethical persons I have ever met.

I am extremely fortunate to have a great circle of friends; they have supported my children and I through tough times and continue to do so. I have known most of them for over 20 years and when we get together it feels like we are 18 all over again.

I have gone through bouts of depression and I have accepted that it will always be a part of my Life, I just have to know when and how to control it. It was tough at first to acknowledge but realizing that I am not perfect, and talking with others about it, it has made this journey a lot easier. "Who the cap fit, let them wear it".

I am a die hard Leafs fan and I love the Raiders; talk about beating yourself up on a yearly basis....
