I have 13 years of hands-on experience working with every stage of the software development lifecycle, from scratch to finished product to deployment. At AdvancePro, I lead multiple development teams who design, develop, deploy and maintain the platform. My goal every day is to produce a product that is innovative, secure, easy to use, and solves the problems that hold our clients back from growing.

Before coming to AdvancePro, I completed an MA in Organizational Psychology and worked as a consultant to help companies measure, analyze and improve their performance metrics. At AdvancePro, my job is simple; to tell our story and let people know how AdvancePro can help their businesses.

I’m something of a data nerd, and I built and maintain our internal dashboards. I’m a new father, a musician, and I love to read and write about the psychology of people in the workplace.

I have been involved in some form of supply chain management for most of my professional life since graduating from York University in 1993. In 2006 while CEO of a Canadian 3PL company we made the decision to purchase AdvancePro to run our operations. Who would could have known that six years later I would become CEO of AdvancePro. Simple reason: I love the business of manufacturing, warehousing and distribution coupled with how technology can be used to make it happen effectively and efficiently. I am passionate about AdvancePro because that is exactly what it does. I’m a hands-on manager, and truly enjoy meeting and working with all of our customers.

I do have other passions outside of the office. I am a father of four great kids and married to my best friend. I am a published author and educator. I am a history and philosophy buff and enjoy keeping up to date on the latest trends and technology innovations. I love the outdoors. I am very grateful to have the best team a guy could hope to work with. When you work with us you’ll come to learn that we consider our customers a part of our tight knit family.
