Humbled to have been selected as one of the Top 40 Under 40 for 2011 by the Waterloo Region Record. Certainly overwhelmed by the response and all the kinds words from friends and family, really appreciate it. Thank you. Loren, this one is for you. I hope you’re proud.
Meetings for most of the day, beginning with a 10am meeting at Williams Cafe that turned out really well. Gearing up to head to LA. Really have no idea what to expect over the next two weeks. It should be fun!
The end of a very long day, 4am and King Street in downtown Kitchener is absolutely quiet. I need to start going to bed and getting up at regular hours, but then again, what fun would that be?
Chillin’ with my brother from another mother.
Fresh snow on the ground this morning. Beautiful. Peaceful. Quiet.
Good times with good friends.
From the Jazz Bar at the Huether Hotel in Uptown Waterloo, to the art galleries located in an old warehouse in downtown Kitchener close to the Breithaupt Blocks, it seems that Im discovering a part of Kitchener-Waterloo that I always knew existed but never had the chance to experience. Until now that is. And I [...]
I wasn’t kidding when I said the best part of Valentine’s Day was the discounted chocolates on sale the next day!

Trying out a bit of a social experiment. I sent this photo to my sisters yesterday to get their reaction, apparently, they loved it!
If I could, I would spend my days bouncing around from coffee shop to coffee shop, either laptop in hand working away or engaged in conversation with lovely people. Of course, part of the dream is that these coffee shops will be located in different parts of the world, not just in different parts of [...]
From the amazing high of #Linsanity and totally jumping on the Jeremy Lin bandwagon last night, to finding out via Facebook that one of the greatest voices to ever walk this earth, the diva Whitney Houston, has passed away at the age of 48, serves as a reminder that no matter how larger than life one [...]
Was on campus at the University of Waterloo for a series of meetings today. The landscape of the campus sure has changed, even when compared to what it was like two years ago. Experimented with the Microsoft Photosynth app on the iPhone to take the above panoramic shot of the campus.
Thank goodness for the business model canvas! It’s always a good idea to go back to the drawing board every now and then to figure out what the road ahead looks like, what value propositions we’re bringing to the table, and how we’re going to turn this into reality.
Balvenie scotch and Patron tequila. Certainly the beginnings of a good night!
A bit late to the party since this book was published in 2007. However, it’s still a great read and would recommend it to anyone who is in the business of communicating ideas with the intent to change the world.
Red velvet, caramel chocolate, coconut chocolate, and a carrot cupcake for good measure. No matter how busy or stressful days get, there is always time to take a cupcake break!
Spent the day in Toronto with the team in a series of meetings with our advisors. Seems that we still have a lot of work cut out for us, we’re definitely up for the challenge though. Went over to KR’s later in the evening to watch the Superbowl game between the New England Patriots and [...]
Aditya and I spent most of the day at the office working away on our business plan in preparation for a series of important meetings in the coming days, both in Waterloo and Toronto. Coming into the office at around 1130am and finally going home shortly after 3am. We took a bit of a break [...]
Some books came in the mail today courtesy of TED. Definitely looking forward to attending TEDActive in Palm Springs, CA, later this month!
I spent most of the day in a series of meetings at the University of Waterloo and at the Treehaus in Kitchener, before making my way to the Rotman School in Toronto. Fact: I always have a good time whenever I’m in Toronto. Its always great to be surrounded with a group of kickass people [...]
Made mango curry chicken with spicy basmati rice & edamame for dinner earlier this evening. Turned out better than I expected! Yum!
My friend and brother Matt and I, have known each other for a number of years now, going back to our days in undergrad at the University of Waterloo, circa 2005. I have so much respect for Matt, who served several tours of duty in Afghanistan serving his country. If you want an example of [...]
It was a busy weekend working away in preparation for an important meeting that took place earlier this morning. The hard work was certainly worth it as we got some great feedback on our startup with a much clearer idea of how to proceed in the coming weeks. Decided to take the evening off and [...]
