His goal is to provide people of all ages with the tools and strategies they need to become the change-makers in their schools, businesses, communities, and in the lives of those around them. And it all started with…garbage. At the age of 17, he co-founded PickWaste, a grassroots initiative that brings people together to pick up trash in their communities. That experience confirmed to him how small actions can have a big impact, and he lives that message in all he does.

In a few short years, his inspiring and entertaining presentations have reached thousands of students across Canada and his High Performing Student program has made a difference for young people in 6 countries around the world. He’s delivered two TEDx talks, he is the youngest Professional member of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, and there’s no limit to where small actions will take this big thinker.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="2052" img_size="full" alignment="center"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator style="double" border_width="3"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
