I am a fourth-generation farmer and reside in Port Williams. My wife Marianne and I raised our two daughters here and we are now watching two granddaughters grow up here. This longstanding connection has given me a profound appreciation for our history, values, and unique character. For the past 30 years, I have proudly operated Gates U-pick on Starr’s Point Road. Farming has been a central part of my life and has significantly influenced who I am.

In addition to my business endeavours, I was as a village commissioner serving on the recreation and hall trustee committees and am a current 20-year member of the Port Williams Lions Club. Involvement in my community has always been a priority. I am always ready to listen to all perspectives and look forward to hearing from the community on issues that matter to them. I am honoured to represent my area as Councillor for District 2.
