Adrian graduated from the University of Waterloo’s School of Planning in 1995 and is a long-time supporter of the school. He is dedicated to giving back to the profession where he can.  He volunteered with the University of Waterloo Planning Alumni of Toronto (UWPAT) from 2004 to 2017 and was chair of that Committee in 2009 & 2010.  UWPAT’s focus is to raise funds for the School of Planning to support the Planner-In-Residence program and to offer entrance scholarships.  It’s primary fundraising event is the Annual Dinner which has become the “must attend” event for the GTA land development community.  Adrian is also a member of Lambda Alpha International, an international society of land economics professionals, and an active volunteer with the Ontario Professional Planning Institute (OPPI). He currently sits on the institute’s Complaint’s Committee. 

Personally, Adrian is a dedicated follower of urban issues and local politics. He finds inspiration in good urban design, architecture, and smart city-building – whether here at home or in his travels. Personal hobbies include a keen interest in history, aviation and the sciences paired with a love of fine wines and a good pint.
