Neil

Neil McQuaid

Neil received a B.A in History at the University of Western Ontario before graduating with an MBA from the 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 currently works at A-Way Courier, a consumer/survivor run business. Neil had a bad speech impediment and has used both psychological and mechanical approaches to overcome his stuttering. He also went through a stage early in the 1980s when he had substance abuse issues. He now embraces public speaking and has been a member of the Dream Team since 1999, where he sits on the finance committee and example group. He is a proud resident of St. Jude’s Community Homes, an active member in his church, and sits on the board of House of Compassion. His favorite quotation is one by Madame Curie, which states, “There is nothing in life to be feared, only understood.”
