Father. Millwright. Musician.
As a dedicated father of two, my oldest starting grade 1, I want to make sure that both them and their peers are given every opportunity to flourish academically and creatively as they navigate life in school. As a Millwright of Hamilton Local 1916, I strive for Quality and Integrity in all things on and off the jobsite. As a Musician, I see creativity and compassion as key pillars in both life and public office.
I believe in helping build board policies founded on peer reviewed academic research, and supporting budgets that are student focused, to bring more teachers and support staff to the classroom. I feel that it’s important that trustees are accessible, answer parents, voice reasonable requests, and hold school boards accountable to their policies and procedures.

Father
I’ve been a proud dad since 2020, and it’s been nothing short of an incredibly rewarding experience. Watching my kids learn to interact with the world around them, discovering who they are as individuals, going on family adventures, all things I wouldn’t trade for the world.
As one of countless proud parents in Haldimand county, I want to make sure that my kids and their peers, of all ages, are getting everything they can out of going to school, academically and creatively, and that no one misses out.
Millwright
Since 2019, I’ve been a member of the Millwright Union Local 1916 in Hamilton. We aim for quality and integrity in our work, and that translates outside of our job as well. Whether it’s helping family, friends, or the community, it is a priority to be honest, clear, and deliver quality work.
Parents and community members deserve these same principals from their elected representatives, and these are qualities I bring to the table.
Musician
Since I first set foot in school at 5 years old, I’ve been involved in music. From hymns in church to performing classical, jazz, punk, rock, and ska, music has helped me channel my creativity. It has given me the tools to persevere, and to be patient and compassionate with those around me.
I believe these skills are essential to any public office. A trustee needs patience and compassion to hear the community’s unique problems, and have the creativity to come up with unique solutions, because the easy cookie cutter solutions always miss the mark.
