About Me
I’ve spent my career serving our community — listening, leading, and working to make local institutions stronger, more accountable, and more responsive to the people they serve.
I’ve lived in Ward 5, near Oakland, for nearly 20 years. I’m a retired school principal and superintendent, a current Grand Erie District School Board trustee, and a longtime community volunteer. My work has always been about responsible decision-making, collaboration, and putting people first.
I’m married to my wife Kim, we have grown children, and we’re proud grandparents to seven grandchildren. I care deeply about the future of our community – not just for today, but for the next generation. That’s why I’m running for County Council: to bring steady, experienced leadership focused on accountability, sensible growth, and strong community services for Ward 5.
