- - - and out of the WEST

This is the true life chronicle of a youth who emerged from the flat lands of Western Canada to occupy senior leadership positions in the corridors of influence and power in the often disparate worlds of international business and banking—the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. He was a marketing pioneer whose successes, and failures, will resonate among business and marketing leaders facing unprecedented change in the digital age. With a loving, understanding wife and children born in four cities coast to coast and two countries, he served in the Canadian army in two wars, and he overcame obstacles that would have beaten lesser men. He rose to several pinnacles without losing focus on his family and managed to enjoy life along the way. His story is an inspiration for aspiring younger men and women.
