our team
David Borthwick
ASI President
Each project is overseen by ASI’s President, David Borthwick, trained as a construction engineer technologist and real estate agent, who founded ASI in 1996. That’s twenty years of accessibility experience; that’s a lot of projects—in fact, over 3,500 accessibility projects across North America. Additionally, David was appointed by the Ontario Minister of Community and Social Services to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act 2005 initiatives—Accessibility Standards Advisory Council of Ontario and the Accessible Built Environment Standards Development Committee. David was also appointed to the Town of Oakville Accessibility Advisory Committee. He is recognized by the Ontario Provincial Court as an Expert Witness regarding accessibility …Impressive.
Wayne Parson
ASI Senior Architect Consultant
All home modification recommendations and designs are developed by ASI’s Senior Architect Consultant, Wayne Parson who is a Registered Architect with the Ontario Association of Architects. But he’s not just any architect; as you can imagine he’s accessibility-obsessed. He’s our in-house AutoCAD expert and “go to guy” for everything design. Favourite Books: The Ontario Building Code, the National Standard of Canada CAN/CSA-B651-12, and Accessibility Design for the Built Environment.
Susan Campbell
Director of Operations & Customer Service
All reports must adhere to ASI’s internal processes overseen by Susan Campbell, ASI’s Director of Operations and Customer Service. Susan’s rehabilitation background combined with a keen eye for detail—not to mention her strict commitment to deadlines—means that all ASI reports are of top quality (trust us, if a report doesn’t pass the “Susan-test,” it doesn’t leave the office).
