His many past contributions include serving as a director of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade and as a board member for the Coquitlam Adanacs Field Lacrosse Association and the Vancouver Aquarium. Currently, he volunteers as a board and governance committee member for the Kelowna General Hospital.
