Making Quinte West Work
For You
Like many places in Ontario, Quinte West residents are struggling with an affordability crisis, a lack of family doctors and attainable housing, and struggling to manage road and infrastructure costs.
I believe that now is the time for the next generation of leaders to step forward to address these issues head on. My campaign will be a positive one, built on proven ideas and a strong vision for our future.
Mayoral Campaign Introduction
A New Kind of Leadership
Born in 1987 in Napanee, I've lived nearly my entire life in the Bay of Quinte. After attending Brock and Queen's University, my brother and I built and operated a successful business in Quinte West for a decade. My wife is a chocolatier at an award winning chocolate shop. Our son, Julian, was born in 2025 and has been a true blessing.
You'll often find us walking our dog Fox around city parks and regional trails. She's a rescue who's quite reactive but sweet and loving once comfortable with new people and surroundings. We all live in Trenton ward, which I represent on Quinte West council.
Entrepreneurship and community service have always been important to me. I served for seven years as a director with the Chamber of Commerce, supporting local businesses. I have also served the past three years as a director with Community Partners for Success, a local food kitchen and resource centre for the unhoused and vulnerable populations in Quinte West.
In 2022, I was elected to city council with fresh solutions for today's challenges. I was selected to chair two committees. I'm proud of so much work that those committees and council have done during that time. But there is much more to do.

The Best For Quinte West Is Yet to Come
I ran for Quinte West council three and a half years ago to bring new ideas, passion and private sector experience to City Hall. I have learned so much and worked with folks from every corner of our city along the way. It has been a great honour serving as a city councillor and working to deliver positive change. But there is much more work to do.
Quinte West is a great city with wonderful businesses and organizations, an essential hospital and invaluable Air Base, incredible natural beauty and a strong sense of community. Despite our challenges, I believe that today, more than ever, the best for Quinte West is yet to come.
Key Campaign Priorities
Partnership with CFB Trenton
Quinte West has been a military town long before amalgamation nearly thirty years ago. With the unprecedented Canadian Armed Forces investment promised by the federal government, we must coordinate and partner now more than ever to facilitate the growth and strengthening of our region and the nation as a whole.
