Triumph

Looking to my work team, clients, friends, and family, it’s easy to see that I am surrounded by determined, courageous, and generous people.  They support and motivate me.  In turn, I am inspired to do my best to make a difference for them.

I enjoy getting into the office early and taking on the day.  Along with providing interesting opportunities and challenges, it adds a meaningful sense of purpose.  It feels good.

I love to run and my triumph is the journey.  It was great to see the finish line at the Boston Marathon.  It's even better that running keeps me healthy and is a path to beautiful relationships, frequent laughter, and nature.

Tidbit

I've been part of the Belay Advisory family since day one.  Loyalty and healthy relationships mean everything to me.  I work hard to stay positive, present, and enjoy every moment - whether with my big Italian family or large network of valued Belay clients.

I am a first generation Canadian with a cherished Irish family.  I am proud of the strength of my relationships and how they remind me to live in the moment.  We can persevere through everything in life, big and small, when we are part of a great team - at home and at work!

Tidbit

I believe in setting goals and working hard to achieve them.  I've taught my children that all paths are open to them as long as they're willing to put in the effort.  Thomas Edison said it best, "There's no substitute for hard work."

I strive to practice Buddha's quote, "Your work is to discover your world and then, with all your heart, give yourself to it."  I take every opportunity to travel, get on my mountain bike, and build relationships in my community through volunteerism.  These are my passions, and I approach them with focus and commitment.  I believe we need to invest in our lives and, to get the most back from them, give everything we can offer.

Tidbit

I've discovered an open door to people and their beautifully wide-spread cultures and customs.  It's food and wine.  I'm equally entranced by a good burger as by a stunning red wine and well-plated charcuterie board.  I'm a vault of great restaurant recommendations and an eager ear to hear how others experience the world.

I take pride in being the person (husband, dad, brother, uncle, cousin, friend, colleague, stranger…) that makes those around me comfortable to shares the ups and downs in their life with ease.  This commitment to always “listen twice and talk once” has also translated into a professional career built on long term relationships.

Tidbit

My family is a blend of several diverse cultures and I love to experience a fusion of food, ideas and languages. This often takes me travelling and one of my favourite destinations is California; Disneyland, Santa Monica, San Diego, Palm Springs or San Francisco...I try to be in California as often as I can.  Plan the work and then work the plan!

I actively contribute to community initiatives and decisions that will open paths for our next generation, which includes my role as the Chairman of the Board of Governors for Concordia University, a term that extends through 2017.  I believe that providing opportunity for our next generation is one of the most important legacies we can leave behind. 

Tidbit

I believe life is about learning, exploring and discovering ourselves, so I try to turn challenges into experiences I can learn from.  Whether I’m hiking in the mountains and persevering through a tough climb to the top, or knowing when and how best to invest in a bad stock market.  Sometimes tackling a challenge and learning from it is as simple as keeping one foot in front of the other and keeping your eyes open to the possibilities.

I strive to keep learning, whether it be my education in marketing or refining my skills as a painter (I've even sold a few!). It keeps me on the path of trying to always be better than I was the day before.

Tidbit

I am driven by excellence, creativity and passion for the arts. One of my creative works rewarded me with a shopping spree weekend and was published in a fashion magazine across Canada.
