About Me |
I live and work in Vancouver as co-founder and President of Global Agents for Change (www.globalafc.org), an organization seeking sustainable solutions to global poverty while inspiring youth to create a better world. I'm also co-founder of EducationGeneration.org and putting a lot of time into that these days.
Global AFC acts as a social change catalyst, running multiple programs providing mentorship and creative ways for youth to engage in global issues - it has been recognized extensively by media, and identified by the United Nations and Canadian Government for its entrepreneurial approach and ability to create immediate impact.
In recent years I've been lucky enough to speak to hundreds of youth and adults on issues including global citizenship, leadership, and the power to impact our world including a keynote talk at the 2007 United Nations Symposium on Philanthropy 2.0 in Prague.
Spent some time in the corporate worlds of banking and property development and have been extremely lucky to travel extensively in Europe, China, and South America, speaking Spanish and Mandarin in addition to English. I also sit on the board as Vice-President for InnovativeCommunities.org, and act as a strategic and communications consultant in my for profit life (when it fits).
Graduated from SFU in 2005 after studying business.
