AROUND TOWN

It brings me great encouragement to be welcomed and supported by so many around Town. I work hard to express my commitment to the community, and will continue to do so whether it be through knocking on doors, dropping off my platform card or engaging in conversation with residents.  I hope you will fully understand after talking with me that I have a heart for this community and am genuine about listening and working hard to positively impact the Town of Aylmer.

ABOUT ME

I have lived here  since 1970 and have paid taxes since 1973.  I grew up on a tobacco farm along Lake Erie.  I dropped out of school when I was 13 to work on the farm and later became Principal of the same school I dropped out of. When I was a young boy, I managed the tobacco farm while my father was ill for some time. This taught me a lot about putting in the hard work to make progress. I worked at McConnell Nursery for several years and also at the Flue Cured warehouse where I became the youngest tobacco grader.  Why are these notes important? Because they were the foundation upon which I developed my work ethic, my drive, understanding of finances and also to acknowledge the help and community of others. I then shifted my focus  back to my education and I obtained a Master of Arts and a Master of Education. Looking back on my childhood, career and retirement I am grateful for my experiences and journey I am on.
