I run Avaanz, a consultancy that sells economics, socioeconomics, and environmental approvals work to developers, Indigenous governments and Indigenous-led organizations, and government clients. Concentrations: power and solid waste. SLR acquired Avaanz on 2026-02-02. The job until integration lands is running that process from the inside.
Before Avaanz: twenty years at AECOM. The notable stretches were VP running the P&L for AECOM's 700 environmental consultants in Canada (2018-2020), and a year managing the $120M central US environmental business concurrently in 2019. Before that, Ontario regional VP (2010-2017), and a long parallel individual-contributor track in economics that ran the whole time.
Twenty-eight years professional. Started in 1998 as an independent contractor doing network installs, then web development at Web Tactics, then into consulting at Environment Strategies in 2001. MBA, Wilfrid Laurier. B.Sc., Queen's. UCLA/AECOM Executive MBA. GBA+ (Government of Canada), OCAP (First Nations Information Governance Centre).
