What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend or a Sunday afternoon?

I like to get in a sunny round of golf with a few friends before grabbing some crab fresh off the boat. Nothing works up an appetite quite like taking my driver for a stroll, though I prefer salt water crab to fresh water hazards.

What path brought you to GUNN?

I had a 35 year career as a contractor with several elevator manufacturers that prepared me for my life as a consultant. Those positions gave me the opportunity to work on many prominent projects as a salesperson and project manager; they also gave me a perspective that allows me to appreciate just how much quieter a consultant’s office can be.

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in a small Northern Ontario town called Kirkland Lake. It’s an old mining town, built on gold first and foremost. The city made a mistake while they were constructing the main street, taking stone from the mine meant for processing and using it to pave the road. They ended up with a main street made of gold ore bearing stone. I guess, subconsciously, that could be why I’ve always seen the value in transportation, vertical or otherwise.
