Keep what works. Improve what doesn’t. Plan for what’s next.
New governments often come in promising sweeping changes. That’s not what I’m offering.
But continuing the plan doesn’t mean accepting everything without question. I will ask the questions, listen to residents, look for efficiencies, and push for improvements where they are needed.
- Roads and commutingA stronger voice for 508, 511 and our local roads
- Taxes and valueBe realistic. Find efficiencies. Deliver value.
- Growth and housingLet’s build a community for families
- CalabogiePlan for the community we are becoming
- Waterfront and villageCreate the vision before we build it
- Short-term rentalsSupport tourism. Protect our neighbourhoods.
- Communication and transparencyResidents shouldn’t have to chase their government
- Hurds Lake, Springtown and our rural areasEvery part of Ward 1 matters
- A community for familiesGrowth needs community
Every part of Ward 1 matters
Whether you live in the heart of Calabogie, around Hurds Lake, in Springtown or on a rural road somewhere in between, you deserve the same attention from your Councillor.

The Township has not published the internet voting website or the telephone voting number yet. Both will be in your Voter Information Letter, and this page will be updated as soon as they are announced.

A neighbour, not a politician
I am an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer by trade. My career began in the Canadian Armed Forces.
I have worked around the world, managed maintenance departments, and for 12 years owned and operated a business at the Carp Airport. That work taught me the importance of staying inside a budget, which is what I intend to bring to Council.
