About

A neighbour, not a politician.

Oakville is changing. Our population is growing, new neighbourhoods are being built, and our community is facing new challenges. But growth must be done responsibly — with the voices of residents at the centre of every decision.

For more than 25 years I've worked as a software engineer and consultant — a career that taught me to listen carefully, think critically, and solve problems for people from every walk of life. I'm a husband, a dad to three boys, a small business owner, and a proud Oakville resident. I've served on the Board of a local Residents Association, volunteered with seniors' programs and community food charities, coached youth soccer, and helped run family events in our neighbourhoods.

I ran as Regional & Town Councillor in 2018 and again in 2022. In 2026, I'm bringing that experience to Ward 1 — to be a steady, accessible voice at Town Hall.

My Priorities

What I'll fight for at Town Hall.

A practical platform built around what Ward 1 residents tell me matters most — safer streets, responsible growth, protected heritage, and a councillor who actually shows up.

🚦01

Safer Roads & Better Traffic

Congestion and traffic safety are daily frustrations. Our roads must work for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, seniors, and families.

  • Improve flow at busy intersections
  • Better road planning before approving major growth
  • Stronger neighbourhood traffic safety measures
  • Safer school zones and residential streets
  • Infrastructure that keeps pace with development
🏡02

Responsible Growth

Growth is part of Oakville's future — but it must be planned properly and respect the neighbourhoods we already call home.

  • Development that respects existing communities
  • Infrastructure first — roads, parks, schools, services
  • Protecting the character of established neighbourhoods
  • Transparency and real resident input in planning
🌳03

Protect Green Spaces & Heritage

Ward 1 is unique — the waterfront, Bronte Village, parks, trails and historic character that make it special must be protected.

  • Protect parks and natural areas
  • Preserve Oakville's heritage and identity
  • Maintain access to our waterfront and public spaces
  • Clean, beautiful neighbourhoods
🏪04

Support Local Business

Strong neighbourhoods need strong local businesses. Bronte Village and our commercial areas deserve a champion at Town Hall.

  • A thriving Bronte Village and local commercial areas
  • Easier communication between businesses and the Town
  • Community events that bring residents together
  • Welcoming public spaces where people gather
🏛️05

A Councillor Who Listens

Residents deserve more than someone who appears during election season. Your concerns shouldn't disappear after election day.

  • Regular community meetings
  • Listening directly to residents
  • Clear communication about Town decisions
  • Accessible and accountable, every day
👨‍👩‍👧06

A Stronger, Connected Community

A Ward 1 where families can walk and cycle safely, seniors stay connected, and every resident feels truly heard.

  • Safer streets for families and seniors
  • An accessible, connected neighbourhood
  • Growth that builds community, not just buildings
  • A councillor who shows up — all four years

My Vision for Ward 1

A Ward 1 that works for everyone.

My boys are grown — which means if I'm elected, being your councillor will be my full-time job. All my time and energy will go to answering residents' emails and calls, showing up at the door, and making the right decisions on your behalf.

  • Families can safely walk and cycle through their neighbourhoods
  • Seniors enjoy a connected and accessible community
  • Local businesses thrive
  • Growth happens responsibly
  • Green spaces and heritage are protected
  • Residents feel heard by their elected representative

"Together, we can protect what we love about Oakville while building a stronger future for generations to come."
