The hands that give quietly often leave the deepest imprint.
Giving back to the community has been a meaningful part of my personal and professional life. Rooted in a belief that real impact is made not only through career achievements but also through service to others. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to a range of organizations and causes, each offering a unique perspective on compassion, teamwork, and resilience.
From supporting inclusive events around Motionball, lending time at the Calgary Food Bank, or helping at Ronald McDonald House supporting those families navigating medical hardship, or being lucky enough to deliver provide and deliver gifts for less fortunate families at Christmas. Each experience has deepened my appreciation for the power of the collective effort.
I spent quite a bit of effort on our Strath/Strathcona annual charity golf tournament for the first two years… an event that by the second year exceeded over $150k in charity donations, and over 250k+ in the last year.
