What is your favourite part of your job?
Meeting and keeping in touch with clients and associates who become friends over many years.
How do you define success?
Finding creative solutions and new ideas to help those I serve, consistently.
How do you manage work/life balance?
My wife would suggest I continue to struggle with this. For me – helping people is fun and never a chore. I work out regularly, Go dancing with my wife twice per week, travel as often as we can – sometimes with my laptop – sometimes without. And find as much time with our friends as possible.
What books/resources do you recommend that every business person should check out?
I’m a huge geopolitics junkie. I’ve read pretty much everything by Peter Zeihan and George Friedman. I also read the Globe, National Post (daily if possible) and magazines like The Economist and Newsweek, when I can find copies at the library. There’s more, but that would take a coffee chat…
If your friends/family/colleagues were to give you an award, what would it be for?
Always being there when needed. Always being straightforward and trustworthy. Always being as positive as possible.
If someone would make a documentary about you, what would be the title?
