My Personal Biography
Full-time resident of Carling Township on Deep Bay for over 25 years after being a cottager beforehand. Born in British Columbia and grew up in Etobicoke. Married with 3 daughters and 2 grandchildren.
Studied at several Canadian universities and have a diploma in Mechanical Engineering. Working background includes 14 years in Europe as an account manager and technical coordinator for a major international chemical supplier in the European automotive production industry; specializing in corrosion protection and painting processes. This experience challenged me to continuously improve my management, teamwork, and interpersonal skills within the many cultures and languages. During my time in Europe, I also pursued my passion as a Scuba Diving Instructor and was responsible for the European development of scuba diving instructors for the National Association of Underwater Instructors. I was honoured with the NAUI Outstanding Achievement Award. I have made many dives in Ontario and Georgian Bay.
Recently retired business owner with an office in Parry Sound and technical facility in the Carling Industrial Park specialized in the sales, distribution, installation, and marketing of industrial machines throughout North America since 2000 for a German Engineering company. This experience has taught me many other skills such preparation of annual financial statements, account balances and budgets, and successfully achieving sales goals, and continuous financial stability.
Have been politically active for many years within two community ratepayer associations as president and director, chaired the preparation of the Deep Bay Watershed Lake Plan which is now included in the Carling Township Official Plan, continuously attended many Council meetings, and made contributions and deputations for Council review over the years.
As Mayor it is important to provide strong leadership and clear directions for our council, the Carling Township administrative team, and decisive diplomatic support for our township within the Parry Sound area community. My various experiences in businesses, sports clubs, rate-payer associations, community and Shriner fund- raising activities, with a high respect for environmental stewardship programs, and having raised wonderful children with the loving support of my wife, I am convinced of my utmost suitability to be an effective Mayor for Carling Township.
