As of September 30, 2022, the business managed about CA$3.0 billion in assets, with capital deployed across the fast-expanding strategies in agriculture, private equity, and private credit.
Immediately before joining Fiera Comox, he served for more than seven years as president and CEO of Mosaic Forest Management, Canada's top private manager of forest, and its predecessor firms.
He led the creation of Mosaic Forest Management in 2018 by overseeing the multibillion-dollar merger that brought Island Timberlands and TimberWest under the control of two prominent Canadian pension funds.
He was instrumental in advancing safety, sustainability, and financial performance during his tenure. Mosaic certified its organizational carbon footprint through the UK Carbon Trust, making it the first forest firm in British Columbia and the first forest company worldwide to do so. The organization most recently began the biggest initiative for Canadian nature-based carbon credits.

He graduated with honors from the University of Western Ontario with a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Laws, and a Master of Business Administration (gold medalist).
