About Us

Tom’s entrepreneurial journey began at a young age. Early in his career, he discovered a unique product called ‘Non Neon,’ which inspired him to establish Magic Lite in 1985. Under his visionary leadership, Magic Lite introduced several groundbreaking products to the Canadian market, including Fiber Optics, and has since earned a reputation as a leading manufacturer and supplier of architectural and specialty lighting solutions.

As our CFO and Jill-of-all-trades, Jen uses her background in business administration and finance to expertly manage our office and handle our accounting, HR, purchasing and inventory. When not hard at work here at Magic Lite, she enjoys reading, yoga, crafts and camping with her husband and two daughters.

With a PhD in Coastal Engineering and a background as a Business Group Manager at GHD Engineering and Consulting, Jen brings both technical expertise and strategic leadership to her role. For the past three years, she has represented Magic Lite and NSL to Canadian and American partners, focusing on building lasting relationships rooted in trust and shared growth. Having also worked summers in the family business warehouse, Jen’s connection to the company runs deep.

Outside of work, Jen is an avid sailor with a goal of crossing an ocean within the next decade. She also loves motorsports, whether that’s riding motorcycles or following Formula 1. And for a fun fact? She’s even a certified dolphin trainer. Jen lives by the words of Winston Churchill: “Dreams don’t work unless you do.”
