I used to be a software developer until chronic pain forced me out of the profession, and then I tumbled all the way down to homelessness. I'm among the rare few who bounced back stronger, and nowadays I advocate for the disenfranchised and marginalized of this city.

I even learned how to navigate the legal system all on my own; I'm currently suing the City of Victoria to have it disclose investigation reports into rampant bylaw officer misconduct within the department, and I've been involved in several more legal complaints against the municipality, either as an advocate or in a support role.

Right now the electorate's top concern is homelessness. Well, I used to be homeless for five years, I've volunteered daily for three years, and I've been advocating for five years! How about putting someone with lived experience in charge?
