For over 30 years I have been a successful entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist.
After founding multiple billion-dollar companies and taking them public, I learned from the inside the challenges, as well as the critical ingredients for success, which revolve primarily around creating the right team.
Over this time, my ventures have provided capital to over 500 businesses that compete in 35 different industries throughout North America, creating tens of thousands of jobs.
I currently serve as an advisor, investor and collaborator. My most important role remains being a father of four and husband.
