Joe Lor 

     As a consultant coming from a background of applied science into the area of
     market communications,

 
     I focus these on two areas that are  dynamically interwoven
    - this I find stimulating and challenging.

 

Objective market research, as part of new business development, offers me long-term projects to pursue
and a sense of gratification when I see myself helping to bring someone’s dream to fruition.

    frontiers of communication.

    exterior space.

BACKGROUND

Mr. Lor is a second generation Chinese Canadian who was born and raised in Brockville Ontario Canada.

After that he furthered his studies at Carleton University, York University and St Lawrence College.

reliability solid state circuits that were used for military and space electronic communications applications.


Two subsequent positions, one as Manager of New Market Development at ITT and as
