Early life, family, and education

Portage was born in Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada, the second of four offspring of Doug Bruce and Ruth Diane (née Campbell) Ford. His fatherly grandparents were English migrants. He went to Scarlett Heights Collegiate Institute for a very long time, graduating in 1983. He at that point went to Humber College for a very long time before dropping out.

Early business career

During the 1990s, Ford got associated with the running of Deco Labels and Tags, a business helped to establish by his dad in 1962. The organization makes pressure-touchy names for plastic-wrapped basic food item items. Doug Jr. became leader of the organization in 2002, and was liable for the organization’s venture into Chicago. Approaching his demise, his dad split the organization, leaving 40% to Doug Jr., 40% to Randy and 20% to Rob. In 2008, Doug Jr. dispatched the acquisition of Wise Tag and Label in New Jersey and terminated Wise Tag’s director. Previous Deco representatives recommend that the Chicago branch was very much overseen under Doug Jr., and that he was popular, however that the organization declined under Randy’s initiative after Doug Jr. entered governmental issues in 2010. Starting at 2011, Ford and his mom were overseers of the organization, overseen by his sibling Randy.

Portage willingly volunteered to solicit for Holyday. He at that point aided his dad’s missions as a PC possibility for MPP in 1995 and 1999. He likewise ran his sibling Rob’s committee crusades in 2000, 2003, and 2006, and Rob’s triumphant mayoral mission in 2010.
