I’ve spent my life helping ideas grow — often from inside organizations, where creativity and persistence mattered more than titles.
In retirement, I focus that energy on mentoring early-stage entrepreneurs. I enjoy working alongside people who are navigating uncertainty, helping them think clearly, build confidence, and take their next step with intention.
I’m also actively involved in volunteer work centered on community support and sustainability. Giving time and experience back feels like a natural extension of a career built on service, trust, and long-term thinking.

Canadian Blood Services
Platelet Donor
Every two weeks, I donate platelets through a process called plateletpheresis. A specialized machine separates platelets from my blood and safely returns my red cells and plasma.
Platelets are essential for people undergoing cancer treatment—they help prevent and control bleeding and play a critical role in recovery and survival.
