In his role as founder and Executive Director of Building Up, Marc developed innovative solutions to connect employers looking for committed trades people, to marginalized community members looking to work in the trades. Marc is excited to take a similar approach with Raising the Roof connecting underutilized vacant homes to Canadians experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Marc is graduate of the Richard Ivey School of Business, he has canoed across Canada, and is overwhelmingly excited by the opportunities ahead of Raising the Roof.
