Meet The Dream Team

Neil McQuaid

Neil received a BA in History from the University of Western Ontario before  graduating with an MBA from University of Windsor in 1969.  He worked for a while in the business hub of Toronto at King and Bay.   He then went on to work in the social service sector and used to work at A-Way Express, a consumer/survivor run business, as a courier.  Neil had a bad speech impediment and has used both psychological and mechanical approaches to overcome his stuttering.  He now embraces public speaking and has been a member of the Dream Team since it formed in 1999 and sits on the finance committee.  He is a proud resident of St. Jude’s Community Homes, is an active member in his church and sits on the board of House of Compassion.  Neil is known for his wit and sense of humour, and often refers to himself as “the shy and humble one”. His favourite quotation is one by Madame Curie, which states, “There is nothing in life to be feared, only understood.”
