I'm an entrepreneurial filmmaker and passionate storyteller with over two decades of experience in the film industry as both a producer and actor.
My career has been driven by a deep commitment to equality and inclusivity, always striving to create opportunities in arts and entertainment
while inspiring others. I believe strongly in the power of storytelling to connect us and drive positive change.
Beyond the lens, I'm a vocal advocate for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)
principles. I'm deeply invested in reshaping the narrative around the mining industry,
unearthing its intricacies, and highlighting responsible and sustainable practices.

As President and Executive Producer of Mine$tockers Inc.,
I bring my keen eye and storytelling expertise to the forefront. I'm dedicated to investigating the history and current landscape of ESG practices
within the mining world, offering a unique and unbiased perspective. My professional film production background and engaging personality allow me
to present a captivating view of the industry. Through Mine$tockers, my goal is to educate existing and new investors on these critical practices,
empowering them to make informed trading decisions within the mining and precious metals sector.
I started my career on Bay Street as an over-the-counter stock trader focused on the resource sector. Today, I've transitioned into a private investor and adventurer,
combining my market experience with on-the-ground site visits to mining properties for firsthand insight.
At Mine$tockers, we believe that informed decisions are the key to successful investing.
I personally research both established and emerging mining companies, connect with local communities, and base my trades on real findings, not just speculation.
I've always been drawn to the outdoors. From the rugged wilderness of the north to the
arid deserts of the south, I've explored it all. As a passionate hiker, sportsman,
and adventurer, I bring the same energy and curiosity to my travels as I do to my investments.
My journey into the world of micro- and mid-cap stocks began at age 19 with the purchase of my first stock.
That early experience sparked a lasting interest in the public markets.
After years of investing and deepening my market knowledge, I transitioned into a full-time Investor Relations Consultant role in 2000. Over the past 25 years,
I've been working closely with a range of resource-focused publicly traded companies,
helping to effectively communicate with investors and grow their market presence.
In 2007, I relocated from Burlington, Ontario to Vancouver, British Columbia, to be at the center of opportunity. Today, I continue to work with multiple public companies and
remain actively engaged in identifying and supporting the right investment opportunities.
I come from a Bay Street banking background, having served as a Senior Vice President and Commercial Finance Officer at Toronto Dominion Bank.
Over the years, I've expanded my business experience as a real estate builder and developer, and as the owner of several entrepreneurial ventures across Canada, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
Today, I've turned my focus to the junior mining sector of the stock market, a space I find dynamic, high-potential, and deeply connected to global economic trends. My background in finance and hands-on
business leadership gives me a unique perspective when evaluating early-stage mining companies and the opportunities they present to investors.
