I have extensive experience in personal injury disputes including motor vehicle claims. I have also conducted numerous multi-party mediations. I have a strong business background and served on several corporate and institutional boards. I have mediated construction, real estate and property development disputes. I have also helped resolve and family property disputes.
I have been mediating since 1998 and have conducted close to 2,000 mediations. My practice has largely concentrated on insurance, personal injury, corporate disputes and real estate/construction issues. I do have some experience in employment related matters, wrongful dismissal as well as product liability and shareholder disputes.
I am qualified to mediate small claims disputes and serve as a mentor in the Small Claims Mediation program.
After receiving my MBA from Western I pursued a career in construction and real estate development as well as project management/consulting. I have run my own successful business for forty years. I believe this strong business background has been helpful in offering clients a focused approach to problem solving while still maintaining a sensitivity to the personal needs and interests of participant. I have maintained a consistently high settlement rate throughout my mediation career.
