In the Community

One of my most rewarding pursuits is serving the community. I enjoy making contributions to organizations that have a positive impact in our area. I’m currently Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors for the YMCA of Hamilton, Burlington, Brantford. In the past, I‘ve enjoyed serving on the Boards of the Burlington Economic Development Corporation, the Gift Planning Advisory Council for the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation, the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice in Hamilton and as Cabinet Chair for the Accounting Division of the United Way Burlington Campaign. No matter what events or initiatives I become involved with, the thing that never ceases to amaze me is the passion of the people involved, and their dedication to the cause.

Testimonial

“Our business was taking on larger and more diverse projects as we grew, but because of our seasonal activity, our bank was not able to provide the proper credit lines when we needed them the most. We turned to SB Partners to provide the portfolio required to search the financial marketplace and they arranged for a new facilitator to maintain our growth and allow us to move forward into bigger and better challenges. They have continued to be our accountants and auditors for over 20 years.”
