Hi, I'm James

I took my career journey head on jumping straight into the workforce and utilized applied education over the years to grow and work my way into senior leadership. I have worked with industry leaders and have spent the past 12 years leading change in healthcare and supporting non-profits. 

I have authored articles for magazines and published a paper on improvement in healthcare.

Embrace the process, establishing standards and being accountable to following them in our lives and in work supports the ability to build unbreakable habits and culture. 

We will encounter obstacles and problems along our journey and developing a strong problem-solving framework and mindset is key to working through them.

I embrace failures as a part of improvement and learning, but I won't quite until I break through it.

I am a student of the Toyota Production System (Lean), and this lead me down a path of love for Japanese culture. 

I love learning from great people, and I never shy in asking for help or advice! 

I am a proud immigrant to Canada from England, and I am so thankful for the lessons I learned through that. 

I have been happily married for 18yrs and we have two amazing boys.

Mindfulness and meditation are a core part of my life.

I believe in youth development; they are our future.

I believe in supporting marginalized communities in equal access to the opportunity to change.

I love sports, playing and coaching! Soccer, Boxing, Basketball, golf. I’m an Alberta Winter Games gold medal winner in boxing. 

Getting away to nature is so important to me, the beautiful Rockies of Alberta ground me and getting out fly fishing and hiking is the ultimate mindful experience for me.

I am a musician, playing guitar and singing in my band gives me a release.
