My story
A Passion for Productivity
After 14 years as a global training director, I founded Totbox in 2010 to dedicate myself entirely to the world of Microsoft productivity training. Since then I've helped thousands of professionals and teams across Canada work more efficiently using Microsoft technologies. From early versions of Office to today's advanced Microsoft 365 and Copilot tools, my focus has always been the same: turn complex technology into practical solutions that create real results.
I've had the privilege of partnering with organizations of all sizes—from government departments to colleges, corporations, and non-profit groups—to build skills, confidence, and productivity that last.
What sets my training apart is hands-on, real-world learning combined with a down-to-earth teaching style. I understand the challenges teams face because I've been there—and I know how to help overcome them.
Whether you're an individual looking to level up or an organization investing in your people, I'm here to help you and your team get the most out of Microsoft 365 and Copilot.
