Hi 👋 I am James.

I am a bipolar sufferer, a husband, father, and a partner at PwC Canada, where I lead the Utilities practice.

As someone who has lived the tragic and long term impact mental health can have on families, friends and colleagues, I'm so passionate about the work that Carya does in our community with the families and individuals most in need.

I am participating in Carya’s Top Chef; a friendly culinary competition where I will be going head-to-head with Partners of each of the "Big Four" to raise awareness and funds for Carya’s mental health programming.

Paired with a professional chef Andrea Harling, I will hone my culinary skills as I strive to become Carya’s Top Chef on Thursday, October 17th.

I am competing because I know that mental health matters!

Funds raised through this event will directly support accessible mental health programs and counselling services to individuals and families in the Calgary community.
