Greater Southwester Region (GSWR)
What is GSWR?: To be honest this is a personal idea that came to be in a conversation with my wife and father. We were discussing how the GTA continues to add letters and merge with regions growing their reach and resources. In that conversation I simply asked, “Why Don’t we do that?”
The question came from the fact that is seems that the three southern regions of Ontario, Windsor/Essex, Chatham/Kent, and Sarnia/Lambton are often forgotten or not recognized in efforts by government to grow and promote. We are left to do so on our own devices. I furthered the conversation by saying the regions should come together and market the three together as the “Greater Southwestern Region”
The next day after waking up I said to myself “Why wait for government to do that, I’ll do it myself”. Which that conversation itself also culminated in the change of our name to Greater Southwestern Group.
The goal with GSWR is to bring small/medium business, since we are told time and time again we are the backbone of our respective communities, of all three regions, Windsor/Essex, Chatham/Kent and Sarnia/Lambton, and find ways to bring attention to the region so we aren’t always forgotten, so we can remembered in the fore front of the minds of everyone as to what we bring to the table collectively as a region and individually as our own regions inside the province.
President - Thomas Papantonis
I Graduated in 2007 from St. Clair College’s Computer Networking Technologist Program. From there I started my IT career, but it wasn’t the way I had expected. I thought to myself, some experience in the field before going full steam into the entrepreneurial world would be a good idea. Times were slow in the region and full time work to gain experience was hard to come by. So a career of contract jobs began. Three months on, four months off, six months on, 4 months off, etc.
In May 2010 I left the region for an opportunity that couldn’t be passed up. Packed my life along with my then fiancé (now wife) and moved.
In 2012 we moved back for personal reasons and returned to much of the same contract to contract. I decided enough was enough I would push my dream and build my business. It hasn’t been easy, there have been good years and bad years. I’ve made mistakes and stretched myself past my limits.
Greater Southwestern Group has evolved over the years from when I started as a sole proprietor back in 2005, under the name Titan Electronics.
To leave off with some interesting facts about me:
- Married and I have 2 beautiful daughters and a dog.
- I’m a Toronto Maple Leafs fan (Insert punch lines here)
- As a member of the Greek Community here in Windsor. I’m honored that in 2020 for the first time I’ll be in the community council. I’m looking forward to working with the rest of the council and the community as we work together for continued growth here in the city.
