Practical HR, from someone who's done the work.

I'm a Certified Human Resources Executive (CHRE) through the Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA) and hold a Master's degree in Counselling. My work has taken me across Canada and into international environments, supporting organizations through growth, change, leadership challenges, complex employee matters, and the kinds of situations that rarely fit neatly into a policy manual.

I'm well versed in employment standards legislation across Canada and comfortable working at the CHRO, executive, and senior HR leadership level. I'm also trained to teach Patrick Lencioni's Working Genius and Five Dysfunctions of a Team models, and I'm genuinely fascinated by how organizations grow, lose momentum, reinvent themselves, and become healthier along the way. The work of Patrick Lencioni and Les McKeown has strongly influenced how I think about leadership, teams, and organizational health.

My style is practical, candid, and approachable. I believe strong HR should help leaders make better decisions, manage risk, and create environments where people can do their best work. I'm not interested in adding complexity just to make something look sophisticated. If there's a clearer, smarter way forward, that's usually where I want to go.

Outside of work, I'm a proud husband and father to two amazing children, along with two dogs who are very much part of the family. They keep life full, grounded, and entertaining — and after spending my days working in Human Resources, I've learned that Dog Resources tends to be considerably easier.

Through Work, Advised., I bring executive-level HR experience, strong employment knowledge, and a genuine passion for helping leaders build healthier, stronger organizations. I'm based in Sarnia-Lambton and work with organizations across Southwestern Ontario and throughout Canada.
