As some of you are aware, I've been walking throughout the community knocking on doors, having engaging conversations with residents and leaving information in mailboxes and tables. I do think this is one of my favourite aspects of running for Mayor; the time to reconnect with the community, to share in stories, listen, meet new people and to even see some of my past students and their growing families. I've learned a great deal on the front step or along the sidewalk, people have been friendly and many interested to hear how I can, "get the job done!" as some would say. It's been uplifting also to visit so many new people who have relocated to Aylmer. We had something in common too; we love our small town.



 
 
 

Welcome to my new website! I look forward to connecting with you and discussing my experience and platform as well, hear what your concerns or vision are for the Town of Aylmer. This is a place to ask your questions and leave your comments on Aylmer and on my platform and I will respond or may even make a full post on it to extend the information to everyone.





 
 
 

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.
