About

I come to work each day optimistic about Nova Scotia’s future. I see businesses taking advantage of our innovative atmosphere, and I see the positive spin-offs of economic growth in all aspects of our lives. Business development is good for everyone.

I’m proud of the work my team and I have done to grow the economy in Nova Scotia, and I’m excited to share some of those stories with you.

Sometimes though, issues rumble in the background. They affect my life, and they affect yours, too. I want this blog to start the kind of dialogue we need to bring awareness and change. I’m not a policy-maker. I’m a person who is passionate about this province and wants to see change for the better.
