What drives my policies:Making Squamish work for the people who live here. I believe in practical decisions, responsible spending, and accountability. We need to invest in what our community needs, manage growth, and make sure the next generation can afford to call Squamish home.

Private Vehicles & Parking

Invest in more parking.

Squamish is a growing community, and private vehicles are going to remain an important part of how many residents get to work, school, recreation, appointments, and around town.

We need to stop treating parking and vehicle access as an afterthought. Before approving more development, we need to understand how it will affect parking, traffic, and the existing transportation network.

I support investing in appropriate parking infrastructure, including exploring a downtown parkade. Where paid parking is introduced, residents should not be unfairly penalized for living here. A resident permit system could allow locals to park without paying, while visitors contribute toward the cost of managing the demand they create.

Public Spaces & Services

Sidewalks & Bike Paths

I promise that future bike-lane projects will be evaluated based on need, cost, safety, and how they fit into Squamish’s overall transportation network.

I promise that every proposed bike-lane project will face a clear prioritization test: Does it improve safety? Is there demonstrated demand? What will it cost? What problem does it solve? And is it a higher priority than housing, roads, parking, recreation, or other infrastructure needs?

From construction sites to environmental remediation and carbon capture, I’ve built my career solving practical problems. Squamish became home because of its people, mountains, and opportunity. I’m running to help ensure future generations can build a life here too.

My story isn't one of politics.

It's a story of hard work, taking risks, adapting to challenges, and building a life from the ground up.

Growing up in the small town of Courtice, Ontario, I learned early that success isn't something you're given; it's something you earn. Those values carried me through college, construction sites, industrial projects, environmental remediation work, and eventually to the community I now proudly call home: Squamish.

Over the years I've worked as a laborer, rodman, crane operator apprentice, facility manager, environmental remediation operator, and information systems analyst for carbon capture. Every job taught me something valuable about responsibility, teamwork, and finding practical solutions to difficult problems.

When I first arrived in Squamish, I quickly fell in love with the mountains, the outdoor lifestyle, and the people who make this community so special. I also experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to find housing, and establish yourself in a community that is changing rapidly.

I believe the next generation deserves the same opportunities that previous generations had.

The ability to build a career, find a home, raise a family, and put down roots right here in Squamish.
