After almost thirty years of working in accounting and finance, I joined Murphy Battista LLP in 2015 where I completed my articles and was called to the Bar in 2016.

I was born and raised in Saskatchewan. I obtained a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Saskatchewan in 1986 and then pursued a career in accountancy completing my articling with Price Waterhouse Calgary in 1988.

I transferred to Price Waterhouse Hong Kong in 1988 and then to Price Waterhouse Beijing in 1995. I left Price Waterhouse Beijing to pursue a career in industry where I worked as a Chief Financial Officer in China for three Chinese-based technology companies that were listed on either the Nasdaq or New York Stock exchanges.

During more than fifteen years working in the People’s Republic of China, I was responsible for over US$1 billion in initial public offerings, equity issues, financings, mergers and acquisitions. I have also served as Audit Committee Chairman for a Hong Kong listed company.

My legal work is focused on economic torts, negligence and commercial disputes. I also act as pro bono counsel for people who cannot afford a lawyer.
