· A LETTER ·

This is my personal page. Not a resume, not a pitch, not fishing for work. I made it so the people I'd actually want in my life can find me and see what I'm up to. Dinner-club conversations, mountain-run partners, weird interesting projects. If that sounds like you, keep reading.

(My LinkedIn is basically a graveyard. I'd rather build something than update a profile.)

I live in Vancouver. Born in Calgary, grew up in southwest Ontario.

Joined the infantry at 16. Learned how to lead men who were older than me.

Deployed to Afghanistan at 20.

Came back, worked drilling rigs in Alberta, finished at UWO. Rose the ranks of the drilling contractors to land a job with Shell.

Youngest non-engineer wellsite supervisor.
100 people, $15M a month budget. Me and one other guy.

Real estate next. Sales, investor coaching, built a portfolio specialising in secondary suites, consulted with the city on the legislation. Then cannabis when it legalised.

Helped licence and secure 100+ locations across Canada.

High-ticket coaching came after. My current obsession is sales and marketing systems with AI underneath. Plus a few other things in flight.

The through-line: show up in an industry early, learn how the operator tier actually runs, build systems, ship faster than the consensus playbook.

Most of the good thinking happens outside. Summit runs up Grouse before the sun's up. Cold plunges at 30 Foot Pool. Backcountry when the calendar lets me. Trail running year-round. If it hurts a little I'm probably in.

I'm not looking for work. But if you're in Vancouver and want to run Grouse at sunrise, cold plunge 30 Foot Pool, or compare notes on something you're building — send me a note. That's how the best stuff happens anyway.
