In this, his final year on the Sheridan Board, his priorities are clear. Funding is ‘drying up‘ and like everyone else in the world, the college has to ‘do more with less‘. "There was still the belief when I first came on the board (five years ago), that the tap would never be turned off," the chairman explains. Before coming to Oakville, he was on a variety of athletic and recreation committees and boards in Nova Scotia. Since coming to town, he has been chair of the Oakville Harbour Development Authority and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. He credits his experiences in athâ€" letics with making him the man he is today; successful in business, a devoted family man to wife Marsha and daughters Christi and Robin, and a talented community volunteer.

Before that, he represented Canada at the Commonwealth Games in Cardiff Wales (*58), the Pan American Games in Chicago (*‘59), and the Olympic Games in Rome (©‘60). He learned a lot through swimming, he says, about hard work, discipline, competition. "And I saw something of the world."
