Ken’s technical expertise and commitment to regulatory compliance enables him to consistently deliver successful projects.

As a regulatory advisor, Ken advises on project development initiatives, to help our clients identify and meet regulatory requirements and expedite the acquisition of approvals and permits.  These must be identified early in the project cycle, so that all project issues are addressed prior to the applications being submitted to regulatory agencies.

He has shared his experience with Post Graduate Students as a Session Instructor both for the Faculty of Management and the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Calgary over the years, teaching External Issues courses to Engineering and Management students.

Ken holds a Bachelor of Metallurgical Engineering from Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova Scotia, 1979) & a Post Graduate Diploma in Project Management (University of Calgary, 1995).
