After a decade and a half as one of Canada's most visible consumer advocates, I have "jumped off a cliff hoping to grow wings on my way down." Yes, I am an entrepreneur. I wrote Climb your Stairway to Heaven: the 9 habits of maximum happiness (which is being published in five languages in six countries).

I publish the free Daily Dose of Happiness ezine (http://www.thehappyguy.com/daily-happiness-free-ezine.html) and The Happy Guy satire column (http://www.thehappyguy.com/positive-thinking-free-ezine.html)

I also published three ebooks:

The Get Happy Workbook
Get In The News!
Don't Get Banned By The Search Engines

If all that is not enough, I absolutely love to speak, and I've been told that my high energy and audience-participation style really perks up the room.

Interests: I love the outdoors. There is something about connecting with green and brown, and the call of the birds, that just melts away the toughest stress. Puzzles, too. I love those -- crosswords, jigsaws, whatever challenegs my mind.
