A Lifetime of Service
For most of my adult life, service and public safety have been a major part of who I am.
For 35 years, I have worked as a paramedic, helping people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Paramedicine has taught me to remain calm under pressure, understand the facts, assess risk, make responsible decisions and accept accountability for the outcome.
Serving Bradford
I spent 12 years as a volunteer firefighter with the Bradford Fire Department.
That service gave me firsthand experience with emergency response, fire protection, community safety and municipal services.
Health and Safety
My approach has always been:
- Identify risks early.
- Understand the evidence.
- Find practical solutions.
- Follow through.
That same philosophy belongs in municipal government.
More Than 40 Years in Aviation
I have been a licensed pilot for over 40 years. Aviation demands preparation, discipline, situational awareness, good judgment and respect for risk.
You prepare.
You understand the conditions.
You make decisions based on the information available.
And you remain accountable for those decisions.
Community Service
For 17 years, I volunteered as an exercise rider with the Toronto Police Mounted Unit.
I also remain actively involved in our community as a coach and trainer with local sports teams. Supporting young athletes gives me an opportunity to contribute to their development through teamwork, responsibility, resilience and personal growth.
Family AND Community
My wife and I are raising two young children. Like many families in Bradford West Gwillimbury, we have a direct stake in this community’s future.
We love this Town. We want Bradford to succeed. We want new families, businesses and opportunities to continue coming here. But we believe growth must be thoughtful, balanced and properly planned.
Growth should strengthen our community, not overwhelm it. Growth should not be judged only by how many homes we build. It should also be judged by the community we create around them.
Why I Am Running
I am not running because I believe one councillor can solve every problem. Municipal government does not work that way.
I am running because Ward 1 deserves a councillor who will:
- Listen
- Ask questions
- Read the reports
- Understand the costs
- Challenge assumptions
- Explain decisions
- Work constructively with others
- Follow through
Preparation. Responsibility. Service. Safety. Accountability. That is what I want to bring to Ward 1.
