My father came to Hamilton in 1952, met my mother here and they were married in 1963. I was born a year later. From early on, my parents always instilled a sense of hard work in me and taught me to give back to this country whenever possible. I have tried to do just that.

I have had the privilege to oversee and assist with the growth of hundreds of small businesses, resulting in thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of investments across Canada and our city.
