🍁 HELPING CANADIAN SMALL BUSINESSES COMMUNICATE WITH CLARITY AND PURPOSE 

 For more than four decades, I’ve worked at the intersection of media, business strategy, and public-sector programs — helping organizations simplify their message, evaluate opportunities, and connect with the people who matter most. My approach is direct, calm, and practical. No jargon. No noise. Just clear thinking and experience you can use. 

A Few Things I’ve Done:

• Built and operated multiple media companies over 15+ years
• Acquired and sold advertising businesses
• Holder of Canadian and U.S. industrial design patents
• Winner of numerous municipal tenders for public-space amenities
• Former board president for major Canadian nonprofits
• Advisor to municipalities and economic development committees
• College-level instructor in marketing, sales, technology, and entrepreneurship
• Consultant to automotive brands, broadcasters, charities, and publishers

Who I Typically Work With

I work with:

• small-business owners facing growth or cost pressures
• companies preparing major marketing or expansion decisions
• organizations bidding on government or municipal programs
• nonprofits navigating funding, communications, or procurement
• founders who want a practical second opinion before committing capital

If you’re trying to decide where to invest, what to fix first, or whether a proposal makes sense — I can help you sort through the noise.

  🔹 WHY PEOPLE WORK WITH ME 

• I don’t run your business — I help you make better decisions inside it.

• You stay in control. I bring experience, perspective, and a steady second set of eyes when the stakes are high.

• No long contracts. No pressure. Just clear thinking and practical guidance.

• My role isn’t to sell you advertising or software — it’s to help you spend wisely and avoid costly mistakes.

• Straight talk, plain language, and more than 30 years of hands-on media and business judgment.

🔹 WHAT CLIENTS HAVE BROUGHT ME IN TO DO

• Worked with regional retailers, service businesses, and nonprofits to clarify messaging, choose appropriate channels, and avoid expensive missteps.

• Called in to untangle complex marketing decisions, steady spending, and help teams move forward with confidence.

I work quietly and independently.

Conversations, documents, and situations shared with me are treated in strict confidence. Many of the people I advise are navigating sensitive decisions — around finances, growth, partnerships, or public-sector programs — and discretion is not optional.

 It’s fundamental to how I operate.
