After founding, growing and ultimately selling a successful Health and Safety training organization I could not suppress my burning desire to stay integrated into the protection of human safety and wellness. No doubt my 31 year career as a Toronto Firefighter contributed significantly to that on going “sense of duty”.

When the global pandemic weighed heavy over our world many clients reached out for guidance or in some cases, just to talk. These conversations served to reignite my drive to step back up in support of workplace safety and wellness, both the physical and the mental. In late 2021, I proudly formed New World Safety to act as my vehicle to carry forward that passion. Trust New World Safety to guide, protect and support your organization in an ever evolving and seemingly more complex new world.

Your workplace family are an extension of my own!
