Long BIO:
In 2018 I sustained a brain injury and have been recovering since. For three years, I stocked produce during the night shift at Costco, and waited tables at a tap house for one year as I progressed through the advanced brain and mental illness therapy. I have emerged a more robust man mentally with a deeper story and mission to impact the world one brain at a time through the lens of Organizational Neuroscience.

I am an award-winning Founder and Chief Education Officer, TEDx and Professional speaker, International #1 Best Selling Author, Radio and Film Producer. I have over 37 years of experience transforming leaders and companies worldwide. My experience spans the Education, Financial, I.T., TELCO, Not-for-Profit and Health sectors. My career includes senior roles in many Canadian companies, including Founder, C.E.O., and Chairman of the Board. I am the host and executive producer of the Quiet Warrior Internet radio show, recognized in 2021 by Feedspot, California, U.S.A., as a Canadian Top 20 Leadership Podcast.

As Founder and C.E.O. of KRE-AT®, I am an authority on what motivates leaders' actions. My business experience and a 10-year study of success's behavioural and neuroscience science have enabled me to create a proven coaching and mentorship formula called The Way of the Quiet Warrior®. My passion for teaching through the lens of Neuroscience informed the development of my body of Work. In 2021 GFEL recognized me and my education company as a Top 100 Global Visionary Educator and Elite Thought Leader.

I received the William Shatner MOVING AMERICA FORWARD AWARD special T.V. series and the 2018 Courage to Come Back Certificate of Top 3 Nomination Finalist for my incredible mental health journey. These narratives will be part of my latest film project, taking my life story to the big screen. My purpose is to lift the stigma of mental health in the workplace.
I have served as Chairman of the Board, pioneering a shift in the access to mental health services for over a decade and an advocate for programs serving mental health.
My talk at TEDx BearCreekPark is about the significant role leaders have in breaking the stigma around mental health.

My beautiful wife Anna, three children, one granddaughter, and memories of my miniature Shih Tzu Shadow are the lights that shine brightest in my life.
