For 15 years, I've built the systems—digital and physical—that make it easier for people to discover, book, and reach places worth visiting.
Everything I build comes back to the same idea: make it easier for people to reach the places that matter. I take the boring infrastructure (both physical and digital) very seriously.

Most destination marketing organizations are being asked to do more—more content, more campaigns, more reporting—with the same team size.

I'm most active on LinkedIn these days. If you're in tourism, outdoor recreation, or place-based business — let's talk.
Being a father is easily the most fulfilling part of my life. I'm engaged to my fiancée Andrea, and the family we're building together is the thing I'm proudest of. I'm based in Ontario, Canada, and I've spent the past decade and a half working in and around the Canadian tourism industry. I've taught at Fanshawe College and Western University, and I hold a Master's in Strategic Foresight & Innovation from OCAD University and a certificate in Cultural Planning from UBC.
When I'm not working, I enjoy taking photos with my really old and trusty Canon 5D Classic (20 years old and still going strong), heading to the sauna, hot tub, spa, swimming, or doing other Pisces-type activities. I enjoy running, reluctantly lift weights, and try to leave the house as much as possible.
These are the books that left a lasting impression.
