I am a lawyer at McKenzie Lake Lawyers LLP, specializing in the areas of business law, tax litigation and matters of professional negligence as it pertains to tax practitioners across Canada.  I head the Tax Group at McKenzie Lake. Outside of my law practice, I have made a lifelong commitment to be involved in volunteer work. Participating in organizations whose goal is to make the lives of Canadian kids healthier and more active has been my focus over the past 10 years. To that end, I have been engaged in National Charities, Silken’s Active Kids Movement and GoodLife Kids Foundation.  I am also a director of the National Charity, Unsinkable, a story-sharing platform hosted by four-time Olympian, Silken Laumann.  Unsinkable’s mission is to connect and empower Canadians to achieve better mental, physical and spiritual health.   I am the current Chair and Chair of Cabinet of the St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation. I have also served on the boards of many other community and national non-profit groups such as Scouts Canada (National Review Board), YMCA-YWCA of London, Childreach Centre, Southwestern Ontario Children’s Care Inc., Ronald McDonald House Charities, Community Living London and Global Vision. Global Vision is a National charity whose focus is to empower enterprising youth, through domestic and international programs, and provide them with the tools that will make them innovative Canadian leaders in the future.  In recognition of my community service, I have received the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal. I live an active lifestyle, working out regularly, playing golf and have recently retired from scuba diving.
