What I enjoy doing outside of work:
Outside of work I am passionate about community service through my Provincial Board involvement and Rotary. I enjoy time with my beautiful wife Tracey especially travelling, sampling good food and wine, fishing as much as possible, quality time with our sons, daughter-in-law and perfect grand-daughter. My other interests include golfing, fitness cross-training, squash and cheering on Canada’s sports teams.
