Why vote for me?
My professional career has afforded me the opportunity to experience a wide range of sub-professions ranging from uniform patrol to corporate research. This experience has broadened my abilities to not only engage in conflict resolution but to prepare business cases, monitor and improve policies, manage a large workforce and manage multimillion dollar budgets.
I have volunteered to community events extensively throughout my life, most notably; Track Official — Oro World’s Fair; Victim Services; Cops for Cancer; United Way; MS Society and as a nonparent goalie coach.
I have proven throughout my life that I am an honourable servant of the community and will continue to do so if given this honour and responsibility — representing all of Oro-Medonte’s concerns.
I believe that we can preserve our heritage while encouraging responsible growth in farming, tourism, recreation and business.
