Tell us about yourself & your company?
Stuart: As the founder of Windsor Wolves Creations Ltd., I drive the bus on the direction of the company. This is shaped by the formation of strategic partnerships, business development (such as our recent pursuit of the home builders license), and a consistent curiosity towards development. We are currently doing residential renovations and commercial tenant improvements. Our focus is to bring an organized and methodical approach to the industry, while also relying on clear cut, and open communication from top to bottom.
How did you get into the residential construction industry?
Stuart: In the mid 2000’s I had been hired by none other than Kenorah Design + Build as a second year apprentice. That was my first introduction to the residential construction world. I didn’t make the greatest impression, as I was more interested in so many other things at 20 years old, but they were a fantastic company to work with.
What keeps you in the industry?
Stuart: The unappreciated gateway between the creative feminine to the constructive masculine.

Proudest moment?
Stuart: I coached ice hockey for many years. One of those years, i had the opportunity to coach a scholarship tournament. I brought my elderly father on as a manager/team support.

What have you done in your community in the last year?
Stuart: The involvement with the Power of Play is meaningful to me, plus, I tend to take on leadership positions in most communities that I become part of, in order to help them develop.
