Since I was a kid I was always roping my friends into helping with starting my next venture or crazy money making idea. Whether it was running lemonade stands or shovelling driveways I have always been entrepreneurial. But until I came into BioLinc during my 3rd year at Brock University I never knew how to channel that entrepreneurial passion into a “real” company. The second I walked into BioLinc I met the ambassador at the time (Drew MacNeil). Drew gave me a tour of BioLinc and helped me get connected with the available mentors.
From there I started attending all of the BioLinc events I could. Through the BioLinc events I gained the skills I need to build a company and met the people I could do it with. I then started a 360 marketing agency and have since pivoted multiple times into the VR company we are today, XpertVR. Because of BioLinc I have met some of my best friends (Drew: my co-founder, Dalton: Huvr media, Harrison Olajos: Up360, Oliver: a great friend and personal trainer, Bailey: Stocked Cellars, Ethan: LifePoints, Shane: scary bouncer/future worldwide event planner and many more), travelled to Las Vegas, Toronto and Montreal for business conferences and been able to work on projects beyond my imagination. Today, we are excited to continue to work with BioLinc and build our company into a recognizable brand that one day will be able to give back to Brock and its future entrepreneurs!
