I am a husband father and grandfather.  I was born and raised in Cornwall.  I’ve never stopped believing in the strength of this community.  I am a proud graduate of St. Joseph’s Secondary School and St. Lawrence College, where I learned the value of hard work, education and local pride.

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked at IBM helping solve complex problems for large multi-nationals organizations.  That experience has taught me how to listen, work through challenges, bring people together and focus on practical solutions.  These are skills that I believe and make a real different at City Hall.

I was raised with a sense of community and giving back.  Service has always been important to me.  For more that 35 years, I have been volunteering in our community  with a variety of organizations, non-profits, and youth sporting clubs, because I have always believed in stepping up and contributing when and where you can.  Since the last municipal election I have served on three City committees, doing my best to help shape our community and be a part of the conversation on issues that matter to residents.

I also served as the Vice-Chair of ACCFutures which is a local non-profit that supports entrepreneurs and businesses in SD&G and Akwesasne.  Through that work I have seen firsthand the importance of supporting local growth, encouraging innovation and creating real opportunities here at home.

I am running for Council because I care deeply about Cornwall and believe I can bring a thoughtful practical approach to the table.  One rooted in problem solving, community service, fiscal responsibility and genuine commitment to this city.
