I am a locally raised candidate in the Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream riding, and I am passionate about raising my family in the beautiful Okanagan. As a father of three, husband, former firefighter, educator, farmer, and current Vice-Chair of the Regional District, I bring a unique blend of experience and skills that reflects my deep commitment to our community. With existing political experience, I understand the importance of engaging with constituents and fostering strong connections through community meetings, events, and representation. Building relationships is essential to truly grasp the needs and concerns of the people I aim to represent. My background in education and public service has equipped me with the tools to listen actively and communicate effectively, ensuring that everyone feels valued, heard, and represented. Whether it’s addressing local infrastructure needs, supporting agriculture and environmental concerns, or enhancing access to healthcare and education, I am committed to making our region a better place for all.
