Biography
submitted by the candidate or their team
It is an honour to run for Port Moody City Council.
I grew up in Port Moody, live here today, and have spent much of my life serving this community. Service runs in my family. My father was Deputy Chief of the Port Moody Police Department for almost 30 years, and my mother also served as a police officer.
I followed that example by getting involved in my community at a young age. I have coached Port Moody Lacrosse for 27 consecutive seasons, contributed more than 6,000 hours of volunteer service, mentored youth through KidStart, coached at Heritage Woods Secondary, and volunteered with our local SPCA. Port Moody is home, and I care deeply about its future.
Professionally, I bring more than 20 years of business management experience, including leadership, financial decision-making, government relations, and organizational management with large companies. I studied Criminology at SFU, and my career in business has reinforced the importance of accountability, responsible financial management, and making decisions based on facts.
Reason for running
submitted by the candidate or their team
Port Moody has been home for most of my life. With 6,000+ volunteer hours and 20+ years in business, I’m running for Council to bring practical, independent leadership that puts residents first. The seat belongs to the people, not the person elected.
