Bert Bik

After a European (Dutch) post graduate education, Bert's career spanned
almost thirty years from operational management to ownership of various
service industry related businesses. Bert was a frequent guest lecturer at
Guelph University, Humber College and various privately organized workshops
as a motivational keynote speaker in support of his published work 'The
7Career steps to Re-employment."

The one concentric focus behind all Bert's business endeavours always
remained the well-being of the involved people, be they in-house employees,
clients, client employees or customers.

During his career, and now even at greater extend during his retirement,
Bert has spent most of his time being occupied by numerous volunteer
activities ranging from support groups for divorced fathers; gay fathers;
food banks/Second Harvest; special cause fundraising efforts;
(re-)employment services for individuals; service industry associations; and
most recently his love for writing. Bert's writings have ranged from highly
publicized human resource and political articles, to manuals relating to
Human Resource, deployment, (re-)employment, outsourcing, company lay-offs
and Personnel/Business Consulting. Bert has since his retirement even made
a valiant effort in writing various unpublicized (thus far) gay novels.

Bert has been a naturist/nudist since early childhood. He was one of the
five original founders of TNT!MEN and he has been involved with TNT!MEN ever
since it's inception in 1997, either as a Board member, a general volunteer,
the Newsletter Editor, the Treasurer, the Membership Coordinator, as well as
with numerous other non-descript group related activities.
