About

I’m a serial entrepreneur whose journey began with acupuncture needles and has expanded to excavators and aggregate pits. After building Oaktree Chiropractic and Acupuncture into one of Ottawa’s fastest-growing integrated wellness clinics, I discovered my passion for big vision projects, strategic risk-taking, and forming exceptional teams. I focus on mergers and acquisitions in the construction and aggregates space—refining business models, structuring major transactions, and mentoring founders to scale with confidence. What Drives Me - Scaling Bold Visions – From a single clinic to multiple locations, from a small excavation company to a large-scale aggregates enterprise, I thrive on the "next mountain" challenge. - Empowering Talented Teams – Success is about people. I love collaborating with A-players across industries—from healthcare to construction and beyond. Key Strengths ✅ Finance & Deal Structuring – Negotiating business acquisitions, real estate deals, and strategic refinancing. ✅ Sales & Marketing – Building trust-based relationships that drive growth. ✅ Leadership & Public Speaking – Training founders and executives in public speaking, presenting at industry events, and leading high-performing teams. Let’s connect! As a business coach and strategic advisor, I’m open to podcast guesting, speaking engagements, and partnerships in construction, M&A, and business growth. Ready to scale across industries or launch big projects? Book a call with me.
