Personal information

• Wants

  Move to China (or Singapore) and get into the private equity or M&A field in China. In short: "Have some more fun before I die." Really, Canada is the pits. Very thin soup economically speaking. Except for having natural resources, there are very few true opportunities here. I'd like to hook-up with like-minded souls working in the PE field or possibly start my own PE firm. (SOE's are a particular interest.)

• Haves

  Loads of M&A experience for my own account. Deep operational experience. Was CEO and COO of companies that I acquired. Resources. But I'm not looking to invest right now so please don't ask. (Thanks.) Ambition. I want to associate with like-minded SERIOUS people.

• Interests

  I love sports. Played soccer to a high level at a Div. I school in the NCAA, Olympics for Canada, and World Cup. Now I just work out for fun. I have a 2, 000 sq.ft. gym in my house (seriously!). I also love to cook. I have a full commercial kitchen in my house. No fave cuisine although Chinese gets a lot of play in my kitchen.

• Organizations

  I love to support 中国收养中心。 Founded The Oakes Foundation For The Bahamas.
