It all starts with a name…or in this case 2. The
company was named after the owners 2
daughters, Kinsley and Braelyn.
Founded in 2013, originally only supplying labels and plastics, Kinsbrae quickly became a full provider of not only labels and plastics, but corrugate, boxboard, tapes, and more. By mid-2014 we moved into our first location in Waterloo. It only took 6 months before we needed to move to a larger unit to begin the next step in servicing our customers better – warehousing and distribution. From here we were able to grow to service several fortune 500 companies but also focus on the core business which is small to medium-sized customers.
In 2018 three more members joined the KinsBrae team. Not only did the personnel grown, but high-speed equipment was purchased to enter the exciting world of shrink sleeves. To house all of the new equipment, we moved to a new facility with over 10 times the space to accommodate growing customers’ needs. Most recently in 2019, further investment was made to decrease the lead times of product to our customers as well as increase the quality of the product being produced.

I was born in London Ontario but raised in Georgetown as well as Oakville. In Oakville, I was introduced to the excitement of being an entrepreneur where I started my first company. This leads me down the path of Economics at the University of Windsor. Its all about supply and demand!
After school, I moved to Waterloo Ontario where I meet my lovely wife Jen, and started company number two. Shortly after selling it, I decided it was time to learn with the big guys were doing and started my career in the packaging industry. During this time my wife and I were very pleased to have started our family with our 2 girls – Kinsley and Braelyn.Hence KinsBrae! The passion for entrepreneurship is something I never let go of and with having a family, I wanted something not only I could be proud of, but generations on could be as well. A place that the employees were just as much a family as our customers would be.
When not at the office, I am spending my time either with my kids, playing sports, or racing cars on one of our local circuits.
I’m a proud father and husband and believe family comes first. As a graduate of Conestoga college with a CET designation, I have spent the last many years fine-tuning my skills to fit any challenge that we face.

When not spending time with my amazing wife and loving kids I enjoy spending it on two wheels hitting the open road on my Harley, swinging a bat on a local baseball team or heading north to the family cottage.My other free time is spent fundraising for many organizations within our community and abroad. The devotion I show to our business is representative of how driven and energized I’m in all aspects of life.
I am very proud to say that I was born and raised in Scarborough, ON. Yes, I have heard all of the jokes but to me, it was a super tight-knit community, where everyone helped each other and you made friendships that last a lifetime,
I am very proud to say that I was born and raised in Scarborough, ON. Yes, I have heard all of the jokes but to me, it was a super tight-knit community, where everyone helped each other and you made friendships that last a lifetime, all while being able to enjoy everything the city had to offer. Definitely the best of both worlds.
A post-secondary education did not take me far, I attended York University and graduated with a degree in Economics. To say my work experiences are a bit eclectic might actually be a bit of an understatement. The shortlist includes over a decade in the investment industry, a direct sales company, taking a social media company public and running the Canadian division of a global sales and marketing firm. All of my jobs from the very first part-time job until now have all had an element of sales involved one way of the other. There is nothing I enjoy more than meeting new people and helping them achieve their goals.When I am away from the office I am an avid amateur photographer and enjoy vintage car restoration. This past July I had the opportunity to travel to Africa and go on a photo safari. I have completed four vintage restorations over the years and am currently hunting for my next project. In the summer months, you will find me enjoying time at the cottage with my wife and two children.
Growing up in Guelph Ontario allowed me to gain an understanding and appreciation for being part of a tight knit community. I spent every summer through my youth on the ball diamond representing the city.

I spent every summer through my youth on the ball diamond representing the city. I completed my educational journey within the city as well, attending the University of Guelph for Tourism Management.
Sometimes though, life throws you a curveball, and my first job out of school was in sales representing a world renown food and beverage company in Southwestern Ontario. Thirteen years growing our business, building relationships, and learning the industry was challenging and rewarding. However, the opportunity to join a new industry with a growing company came at a perfect time. I brought my past learnings and have been using them to assist both new and established clients go to market.
I have been lucky in that my “workday” is exciting and everchanging, and when it ends, I have an amazing family in a welcoming community to return to. You can still find me on the diamond all summer, playing as well as coaching my son’s team. Winter is spent in the rink watching both my son and daughter enjoy Canada’s pastime. My wife and I both have a passion for music, craft beer and the east coast and have been putting them together for some memorable adventures.
I was born in the UK and moved to Ontario over a decade ago after meeting my amazing wife Valerie in New Zealand. We live in Kitchener with our two boys Noel and Jude who keep us very entertained.

I have a passion for Craft Beer and Brewing having enjoyed stints at a few breweries in Ontario and even a short stint out in New England as the Head Brewer of Widowmaker brewing in Boston. The brewing world has given me an eye for detail and the drive for production which defines my work ethic.
In my free time I enjoy visiting breweries, gardening, wood working, cheering on Manchester City and spending time with my family.
I was born and raised in Kitchener-Waterloo. At a young age I knew I wanted to purse a career in law enforcement. I attended Conestoga College, where I studied Police Foundations and Criminal Justice for a few years. After working various Security roles for 5 years, I realized my passion was working directly with people in more of a customer service environment and less of a uniform aspect.

I decided I wanted to pursue a career where I was working with people directly, and working a consistent work schedule so I could spend more time with my family, and I have been in the Customer Service industry since.
During my free time I enjoy being at the gym, sitting on the couch on Sunday’s watching Football with my family, hiking outside on one of the beautiful trails in Ontario, or playing some kind of sport.
