Kent Kirschner

At a recent speaking engagement I was asked if I would describe my life so far as a work of abstract expressionism.........I thought about it for a moment and then said that may be a bit too flattering. My life has probably been more like the great Canadian national dish: Poutine! A glorious concoction of greasy, salty, cheesy, sometimes sweet ingredients all coming together to make a dish that you can never get enough of.

For the better part of the past 20 years I have been fortunate enough to spend my life dedicated to things that interest me, mean something to me, and that can promote positive change in virtually every sense. Few are as blessed both professionally and personally and for this I am grateful to my family, friends and peers.
