I am passionate about North Vancouver and want to make it the best it can be for everyone: as a community, a place to raise families, and to live a good life.

I have already served on City Council, for two terms ending when I did not run for re-election in 2014. Prior to that I served on the School Board and the NorthVan Recreation Commission.

I am a volunteer at North Shore Neighbourhood House, helping people with tax returns, and at St Andrews Church delivering bread. I know many people that are struggling in our community. Better--not necessarily more expensive--government could do more to help.

I am a CPA, former banker, with experience in mining, forestry, funerals and renewable energy. Today I help companies and First Nations with banking and finance challenges as an independent consultant.

Some say North Vancouver is the best place to live in Canada. I believe that is true, but not because of our local governments. We who are blessed to live in a place that has so much, should work together and show the world how truly good government can be a source of pride and an example to the world.
