I am a retired systems engineer, formerly with General Dynamics Canada, who now volunteers with the Calgary Climate Hub and writes on behalf of Eco-Elders for Climate Action. As a climate activist, I'm working to stop old growth logging in BC, reject coal mining on Alberta’s eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, facilitate community involvement in a local Miyawaki forest project, and advocate for renewable energy. I've also done a little bit of guerrilla tree planting in my neighbourhood parks. I like to use a ‘systems thinking’ approach to learn, understand, and defend the ecosystems that are under threat by climate change and unrestrained resource development.

Baardskeerdersbos, Western Cape, South Africa

I am an author who previously worked in the oil and gas industry and am now a sustainability activist.  My first two books focus on the oil, gas and process industries where I outline what is required to enhance the performance of the managed assets. The second book dives into the management of turnarounds which is crucial for the long term success of the company. My third book explores the long term survival of businesses where they have to refocus on renewables to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. My overall focus is on the long term sustainability of businesses. The realignment of fossil fuel companies to become sustainable, using new technologies and ideas, is of particular interest to me. The phasing out of fossil fuels needs careful consideration to minimize the social and environmental impacts while ensuring an economically viable transition to net zero emissions.
