A Lifetime Dedicated to Unlocking Potential.

Whether it’s in business, in our community organizations, or in each other, I’ve spent my career developing the tools to help the people around me grow.

Building Business & Economy

I know what it takes to create jobs and drive the local economy because I’ve done it. I’ve helped build companies from the ground up:

  • Media: Co-founded PTBOCanada.com, connecting our community through hyper-local storytelling.
  • Technology: Co-founded Cormor, one of the first large-scale 3D concrete printers in Canada.
  • Marketing: Built StudioPTBO.com, taking PTBO talent to a global stage.
  • Sports: Helped launch Electric City Football Club, bringing semi-pro soccer to our community.

Building Community

My commitment to PTBO is deeply rooted in my family’s dedication to our city. I’m doing whatever I can to give back to the city that has given so much to me:

  • The Canadian Canoe Museum: Led the "Moving The Collection: The Final Portage" campaign.
  • United Way of Peterborough & District: Served as Campaign Chair to support our most vulnerable.
  • Chamber of Commerce: Served on the Board of Directors to advocate for local businesses.

Building Knowledge

My world view was built right here at Trent University and Adam Scott Collegiate. I remain deeply connected to both, having served on the Alumni Strategic Advisory Committee at Trent and holding the honour of being an inductee into the Adam Scott Hall of Honour.

  • Recognition: Inducted into the Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame.
  • Author: Co-authored What If You Could?: The Mindset and Business Blueprint for Your Life of Purpose.

Building A Family And Our Future

Most importantly, I’ve helped build a family here. You’ll often see us discovering new spots in town, visiting friends at our favourite hangouts, and supporting our beloved Petes.

I’m running for Mayor because it’s time to build a better PTBO.

It’s time to unlock our city’s full potential.
