What do you like to do in your spare time? "Puttering" (as my wife calls it). Playing guitar. Camping.

What inspires you? Witnessing our DHC volunteers in action.

Why are you in nonprofit work? What emotional reasons? I grew up in a family that helped those in need, volunteered and gave back to the community. Seeing people's genuine, heartfelt, reaction when you've helped them without expecting anything in return, is a pretty good reason.

Who is a hero of yours? Terry Fox. Every-time I think about what Terry accomplished, I'm very humbled.

What’s something quirky about you? I am a retired Drum Corps member of the Ottawa Police Services Pipe Band.
