Board Member

Circus West

March 2006 – March 2008 (2 years 1 month)

This was an interesting opportunity for me.

Cirkids was in the midst of a major strategic plan and was assisted in the process by a consultant Rick Knowland.

As a small business owner, I'm more used to being able to move quickly and make snap decisions.

An organization the size of Cirkids has to move much more methodically and engage all the stake holders in the decision.

At the end of a 2 year process, the organization emerged with clear goals related to growth and a stronger organization with buy in from all the major stake holders (Board, Teachers, Parents, Funders).

The new organization is now called Circus West and includes both training and semi professional troops extending past just kids to include training and professional opportunities for adults.

While sometimes rocky, I'm proud to have been a part of the transformation and value the experience that it brought me in working in a larger group.

Prime Minister

**undernet.* Services Ltd.**

1994 – 2000 (6 years)

undernet.* Started it's life as a reuseable ticketing and membership system that was in opperation in throughout the 90's. We were very focused on the Rave scene and had tied a lot of the systems reporting and tracking technology into the existing bylaw structure of the "private members club". As such the system required that you register as a member and the card (a magnetic stripe credit card style event ticket) became your ticket to all future events. (as well as a member of a private club, thereby bybassing the "public event" bylaws).

For a number of reasons both personal and growth related, we decided to stop our current business path and put undernet.* on hold for a while.

Since then, we've repurposed the name (federally trademarked) to be a VoIP company with national reach. Please visit www.undernet.ca to learn more.

Presentation Consultant

Pacific Space Centre

January 1996 – January 1998 (2 years 1 month)

The HR MacMillan Planetarium was in a funk and hadn't been updated since the late 60's. Working under Michael Harding, a leading Vancouver campaign manager and government relations expert, I acted in the position of Presentation Consultant, preparing most of the funding requests to both private sector companies and matching government funds.

We raised a total of $8.8 Million and successfully saw the launch of the New Pacific Space Centre... since renamed the HR MacMillan Space Centre (can you guess who our biggest contributor was?)

Assistant to the Producer

Forefront Productions Inc

1994 – 1996 (2 years)

I was the producers assistant on a major (CTV-GLOBAL) prime time television series. Over the course of my employ, I handled all correspondence between agents and the producer. I sourced negotiating A&R rights for sound track music and produced the opening for the second season.
