Below you will find out my professional life, privately I enjoy running, biking, hiking and astronomy (basically anything outdoors day and night). I live part of the time in Ontario a couple hours NW of Toronto and the remainder of the time I live in Chevy Chase. I am very active in Rotary International in both countries. In Chevy Chase I serve on a couple of town committees dealing with environment and long range planning. I am the founder and CEO of VION Investments which since 2007 focuses on asset based finance in the U.S. and abroad. I also started an indoor agriculture growing operation in Stayner, Ontario.

I care about the environment and basic human rights and condition. Our family focuses philanthropy on feeding those in need.

Grow local and support your local farmers.

It all started with watching TED talks. From there I started using them for my strategic planning sessions. Then I tried applying to attend and failed, twice. Still, I started planning a TED Social event based on deforestation in my area, then Hurricane Michael hit, the ultimate deforestation event. That changed my outlook on what was important to talk about. We need to change opinions on what we are doing to the Earth, a macro view. Still, the best way to make macro changes in on the micro level, so now I am experimenting with hyper local growing indoors to feed people locally.
