"In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields." -John McCrae Lest we forget... We remember (at Prince's Island Park)
"Wine is bottled poetry." -Robert Louis Stevenson Taken at a very early hour on someone's birthday at @untitledyyc. They say if you're the smartest person in the room, that you're in the wrong room. This is one of those nights where I'm definitely in exactly the right room. All our friends are gathered, their ages span generations, and their areas of expertise are as vast as the bottles of spirits behind the bar. But the part that matters, everyone to the person, was kind. Now, who's sabering the next bottle? . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #calgary #yyc #thankful #wine #kindness #legacy #exclusive #leader #humble (at Untitled Champagne Lounge)
Happy Chinese New Year!
"I have loved the stars to fondly to be fearful of the night. - from An Old Astronomer to his Pupil. On the waterfront with colleagues, an artificial fire to keep us warm, the waves bouncing to dimmer our senses, and the fine wine to dim our senses more. #entrepreneur #mentorship #finance #yacht #vacation #waterfront (at Waterfront Park)

"Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected." -Steve Jobs After the recent trip out east, I was reminded of the Emerging Leaders conference from last year in Montréal. Wow, the event in 2016 seems so far away. 381 days, countless meetings, even more phone calls, 15 pounds, 23,000 kilometers driven, and a beard. Looking through the pictures revealed a few things, mainly; the oceans of wine and abundance of talent, training, and fulfillment of spirit (both meanings) that went on over the event. I am still thankful and humbled to have been selected to be part of it. Sitting at dinner, and tables that with senior executives, directors and peers from companies over 100 years old to ones just starting who were identified as emerging leaders, in Montréal, was an experience I'll never forget. Thank you. #tbt #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #quotes #blessed #montreal #leader #leadership #emergingleaders #thankful #food #amazing #wine #moet #champagne (at Ristorante Buonanotte)
