Over 10 years ago I started Million Dollar Smiles with the simple goal of wanting to bring smiles to children facing life threatening illnesses. I began with a small group of volunteers and together we helped change the life of 10 families in our first year through our Travelling Teddy Bear campaign. After years of running numerous fund-raising events resulting in many smiles, we have grown into a group of dedicated volunteers who organize fundraisers that support our gift-giving campaigns and special events. A surprisingly wonderful by-product of starting Million Dollar Smiles has been the amazing volunteer community that we have built! These volunteers are not just great because of their fundraising efforts but also because they really roll up their sleeves and get involved. Our very successful Summer Playground Build program entails teams of 20+ volunteers building playgrounds over a weekend in the backyard of our special MDS children. We also get a huge turnout for our Holiday Bear Drive. Every Christm

I entered the insurance industry a decade ago, after 21 years of being a chiropractor in the Greater Toronto Area. Although some may think that there is a great divide between these two professions, I have come to learn that there is indeed an overlap and benefits to my clients as a result of my previous career. Most importantly, as a result of my medical background, I have the knowledge and ability to advocate and negotiate on behalf of my clients, when dealing with insurance carrier underwriters. Also, just as I enjoyed and took great pride in helping my patients as their chiropractor, so too do I take pleasure in helping my insurance clients obtain the right coverage for themselves and their families. I am honoured, when my clients tell me, just as they did when I was a chiropractor, that they feel they are in good hands.
