The Edge School is building a new sports complex. If you're a cyclist, you'll know the site, as it's on Airport road (between Airport road and the TransCanada, right by the Airport).
It'll have a prominent name attached to it, as a local Calgary businessman has decided to put up $2mm towards the facility because he's loved hockey all his life. This businessman also headed up funding for the Calgary Humane Society last year because he loves dogs and animals.
In the hard nosed business world, and not to mention the numercially oriented finance industry, his empathy for people and the world around is apparent - he's a people person in every sense of the word. It doesn't take more than a minute of conversation for anyone to figure that out, and I've seen him brighten the days of airline check in clerks, taxi drivers, and clients within minutes of starting conversations. I've seen him be himself now for 8 years, and there's a lot worth aspiring to.
This person is FirstEnergy's very own James W. Davidson, or Jimmy-D. He holds a few titles, including a business card that says CEO, but that's so cookie cutter. What it should say is "All Around Good Guy".
