About
A portfolio entrepreneur, I started my first business in 1990 while in my first year studying commerce at University. Since then, I have founded or partnered in more than a dozen companies. From contracting to software, and health care to renewable fuels. I’ve got a ton of experience in what works, and what doesn’t, in a wide variety of areas.
I started my first technology company in 1996 when I began shipping computers overseas. The company grew and diversified into software development over the next two years developing real-time XML transcoding software and a database scraping tool that delivered SMS messages to users based on pre-defined criteria.
Returning to tech in 2015, we founded IMBA Medical – focused on helping healthcare, insurance and employers deliver the health and wellness care they want to be known for. Since that time, IMBA’s platform called Take Action has become a leader in supporting Chronic Disease Prevention and Wellness in populations large and small.
Via the Take Action platform, IMBA is a Leading provider of diabetes prevention program (DPP) support in the US and Canada. With this momentum we launched a first-in-Canada employee wellness and chronic disease prevention platform for employers, insurers and institutions called Healthy @ Home in 2020.
In 2012 I launched the highly rated podcast Paper Napkin Wisdom and released an international bestselling book, Paper Napkin Wisdom: Take Action on Your Five Step Plan to Entrepreneurial Success. Paper Napkin Wisdom, the enterprise, has inspired some to refer to him as “a modern-day Napoleon Hill.” A second book is expected to be available in 2021.
A quote I love: “Successful entrepreneurs owe it to future generations of entrepreneurs to pay forward their failures, not their successes.”
These words may have been the best I have ever heard uttered on stage by an entrepreneur.
We often judge the success of a leader or entrepreneur by their public persona. The reality is, however, that the great lessons of leadership and strength of character and conviction come in quieter more private moments. It is in those moments that leadership is defined. Tenacity, perseverance, and the ability to get up after set-backs, especially when they come quickly in succession, is the hallmark of great leadership.
I help my team of difference-makers make the small change in their lives that has the power to change their world so that together we can change the world.
We believe in a vision where every human has access to the care they need.
We are committed making it a reality.
