I'm best described as a Neuroscientist turned Salesperson, bad golfer, good squash player, road warrior, world traveler, and proud father. I've achieved President's Club in seven of eight years - 97% to goal in the missed year, won Info-Tech's highest award - our Grand Gold Medal, and ranked top manager internationally two of four years in my leadership tenure. I'm passionate about the brain, public sector, hockey, travel, and technology. Let's connect over a nice coffee or whiskey on the rocks!
