I joined as the Executive Director in 2020 but have been a donor for over 40 years. I have always been impressed with S.H.A.R.E.’s ‘Pass On’ principle and its’ volunteers base that operates with little overhead. Looking to be active in retirement, this keeps me busy. Following my first retirement from Bell as a Network Maintenance Manager, After retirement operated a database software development business.
Gary stepped down as Executive Director on January 24, 2024 and assumed the position of Director.
In 2000, my wife and I went on a monitoring trip to Belize with a group of volunteers and were impressed with the S.H.A.R.E. philosophy.
I started on the project committee and love that we fund projects that provide clean water.
I was always drawn to S.H.A.R.E. because of our ‘hand up' and not a 'hand-out’ principle.
Responding to opportunities to provide services to others has led me to volunteer since my 20’s.
Jim joins S.H.A.R.E. as a director in October 2022. Jim grew up on a farm in Stouffville Ontario.
