In addition to being an equity partner in multiple business enterprises including manufacturing, retail, and technology, he is also an active member in good standing of the M&A Source, the National Equipment and Business Brokers Institute, the Better Business Bureau of British Columbia, and the Appraisal Institute of Canada. He is a co-owner of the patented “QuakeTrip” and an investor in a Private Equity Group Fund.
