Now

This is a /now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. You should consider making your own! I keep a more complete list of my recently active projects here.

Derek just wrote a new post about these pages. I updated this page July 9th, 2025.

Startup Fest

I assumed I was taking my first summer off from International Startup Festival after almost 15 years of organizing and hosting The Ontario Startup Train.

I'm busy filling in my calendar so if you and I should connect in MTL, fire me a note and let's book it! See you in the old port, say hi if we cross paths!

I'm also working on having TheStartupTrain website became a place to share some of our train stories.

Pop-up Coworking Days On Summer Vacay

I'm pausing our coworking days for the summer (at least).

If you're curious, subscribe at BuildsTogether to receive the formal event registration link.

You can read about it in GuelphToday.

New Gig

I've done enough soul searching and psychometrics to know that I care more about people than projects. Projects are fun, but for me, only if you care deeply about that project. For the foreseeable future, I'm going head first into this entire Customer Success space. This new opp lets me leverage my experience writing software and building companies while being solely focused on the people I get to turn into superstars.

Yes, I'm here to technically onboard new companies and ensure their projects succeed. But what truly energizes me is focusing on the individuals behind those projects and understanding their goals and challenges, then figuring out how our team and technology can help them exceed what they thought was possible.

You should come join me?
