I have been carving out my place in the business world since the young age of 14. At 15, I started selling Electrolux Vacuum Cleaners door to door in my neighbourhood in the northeastern town of Mattawa, Ontario. Winters were spent delivering the North Bay Nugget newspaper and summers were spent picking tobacco in Tillsonburg, Ontario. Tobacco picking proved to be the hardest and most rewarding job I have ever done and the first time in my life that I almost quit something. By adapting to a changing environment and understanding my own strengths and weaknesses, Iknew this was the beginning of a true business leader in the making.

In 1994, I formed the flagship division of Response Group Canada with several brother and sister companies under the ever-expanding Response Group family umbrella. Each diverse division exists as an answer to a former need. Since then, Response Safety Security & Investigations has evolved into the largest privately owned security firm in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. A graduate of Algonquin College with a diploma in Law and Security Administration has given me the ability to lead a business in a positive direction through persistence, long term vision and fulfillment.

I am the father of 3 dynamic children with an ever expanding family and currently reside in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
