Rooted in London. Committed to Students. Focused on the Future

About me
For more than 30 years, London has been my home.
It is where my wife and I chose to raise our family. It is where our son attended Thames Valley District School Board schools. It is where I have built my career, I became actively involved in our school community, serving on the Parent-Teacher Council and later as Chair, taught students at Fanshawe College, volunteered in our community, and worked alongside local businesses and organizations.
I've experienced our education system from both sides of the classroom—as a parent and as an educator. Those experiences have reinforced a simple belief:
Strong schools build strong families, and strong families build strong communities.
I am running for School Trustee because I believe every decision should begin with one question:
"Is this in the best interest of our students?"
Why I'm Running
I am running because I believe public education is one of the most important investments we make as a community.
- Strong schools create stronger families.
- Strong families create stronger neighbourhoods.
- Strong neighbourhoods create a stronger London.
My experiences as a parent, Parent-Teacher Council Chair, educator, board member, and business leader have given me a unique perspective on leadership, governance, collaboration, and accountability.
I am not running to represent one group or one point of view.
I am running to represent every student, every family, and every community within our schools.
Together, we can ensure that Thames Valley District School Board continues to provide students with the knowledge, skills, support, and opportunities they need—not only to succeed in school, but to succeed in life.
It would be an honour to earn your trust and serve as your School Trustee.
