research at numerous local, national, and international professional meetings. He mentored
undergraduate students, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, academic staff, and visiting
scientists. He was a member of the editorial advisory board of “IEEE The Institute” (2010-2014), and
Vice-Chair of communications for IEEE-USA (2004-2010). He was a pioneer in lifelong learning,
advancing his career by pursuing continuing education opportunities at a variety of institutions including
the University of Calgary, the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, the Banff Centre for
Management, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California, and the University
of Colorado. Of particular significance in his life was participation in many wilderness adventure
leadership programs facilitated by Outward Bound Canada and Outward Bound Singapore. He was
elected to the Board of Governors of the IEEE Engineering Management Society (2004-2007) and was
editor of IEEE Engineering Management (2003-2007). He was an associate editor and contributor to

Every person’s life is unique. The experiences we have during our life’s journey shape us; and give our lives meaning and purpose. As we journey through the stages of life, from infancy to seniority some believe they have no control over what happens to them. Others are proactive, realizing that there are many opportunities for learning and achieving their potential. They realize their vision, often overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. The number one regret of the dying is not about money; it is about experiences they missed — and not living an authentic life.
As I approached my 75th birthday I became increasingly occupied with reflecting on my life. The link below accesses a recent article on this topic. It’s goal is to briefly share my life’s journey with readers, followed by my most important lessons learned during the past 75 years. For each of us, the best legacy is to have made the world a better place, because of our contributions. Link to the article below:
