transportation within the North American meat sector; improving competitiveness
and reducing carbon emissions. Ted is connecting Canada's Farm-to-Fork quality
and environmental advantages to international markets

his cultural sensitivity. Ted truly enjoys working and living in diverse
cultural environments - with special focus on foods and social practices.

Community involvement is high on Ted's priorities - as demonstrated by his many
volunteer relationships. Ted and his wife Lori have lived in Calgary since 1992
and are the parents of three young adults.
