I believe FirstOntario is on the leading edge of financial institutions as we see the progress in technology and the size and breadth of the organization. As a seasoned Risk Manager, I would like to play a role in not only protecting my own assets, but those of all shareholders ensuring to the best of our ability that our credit offerings are well adjudicated, and our asset recovery is well controlled and monitored. Now retired, I can offer the time required to study the board packages and be prepared to contribute to the board’s decision-making processes.

Over the last 20 years, I have contributed to many boards and committees. My experience on the Toronto Housing Company proved to be very beneficial to the corporation where I brought business experience to a company that is owned and operated by the city. I not only made a difference there, but also gained considerable experience in board governance. Subsequently I have contributed on other boards where I performed such duties as Secretary, Chairman, Vice-Chair, Scholarships, and Membership committees.

Following my law enforcement training, I enrolled in accounting courses, management courses, and stayed current in all software used in business. All of my accreditations were provided internally for the corporations where I was employed.
