He has led initiatives ranging from building modern financial infrastructure and analytics to supporting financings, governance, and complex transactions across professional services, education, industrial, and technology-enabled businesses.

He holds an MBA from the Owen School at Vanderbilt University, a Bachelors from the Rotman School at the University of Toronto, and is also a Certified Management Accountant. At WADR, he works closely with firm leadership to ensure the financial foundation supports long-term growth, risk management, and stewardship of both client and firm capital.
