A resident of Ward 4 for 19 years, I love my city and my neighbourhood. I have my MSc. in pharmacy, and I currently work as an Automation Product Manager at ThermoFisher Scientific. Happily married for 21 years, and father to three school aged children, I am ready to give back to the community that has given me so much.
I am especially dedicated to the development of youth, and their burgeoning talent for raw ideas and innovations. It was a diligent and insightful teacher that first saw potential in me: an underperforming student from a family that would have been called 'the working poor' today. I came to the University of Guelph to study chemistry, and wholly embraced the charm of this, then small, city. Over the years I have sat on the board of the Guelph Community Health Centre, acted as a Big Brother, and mentored youth at the Guelph Karate Club. Currently, I'm in my 3rd year as a scout leader for 6th Guelph.
