I grew up in rural Canada near the small town of Embro, Ontario, and spent my teen years in nearby Stratford. After graduating high school, I moved to Toronto to earn a degree in aerospace engineering at Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University). Early in my career, I was a consultant in the aerospace and automotive industries. After a few years, I co-founded a consulting company with some colleagues, selling modeling and simulation software and teaching companies how to get the most out of it. In 2008, I jumped at the opportunity to spend a few years in Italy with my family working as an aerodynamics designer for the Ferrari F1 team and traveling Europe. Since 2012, I have been living in Snohomish, Washington with my family where I now specialize in Organizational Change Management. My role blends my engineering background and expertise with concepts of organizational psychology to help companies adapt to change. The characters and technology in my book are enriched by my experiences, my work, and, most importantly, the inspiring people I work with every day.
