Why are you running?
I want to make a positive contribution to this community and ensure it stays a great place to live and work for my family and my family's future generations.
What riding are you running for?
Town of Stettler Council
What is your background?
I have been a manager with Kal Tire stores for 9 years, the past 7 in the Stettler location. Also over the last four years, I have been a volunteer board member for the Stettler Housing Authority. Over this time I have gained experience working in and coaching teams, managing fiances and setting budgets, goal setting, and business planning. I have a history of meeting goals and exceeding targets. I am able to quickly adapt to change and implement new policies and procedures when necessary. I have learned when making decisions to gain an understanding of issues to investigate and determine the why, weighing the cause and effect of actions to understand possible outcomes. I believe these are all important skills for a councillor to help create a sustainable future for our community.
What do you hope to accomplish if you win?
I hope to accomplish keeping my vision of Stettler alive, My vision for Settler is a prosperous, safe, and healthy community where people feel safe, and want to raise a family and retire. My goal would be to provide quality governance and leadership for the community that would allow those things to result in a high quality of life for our residents and visitors.
Anything else you would like to let people know?
My family is my inspiration to run for office. I met my wife Kaitlyn here and my son Owen was born here. My grandparents raised their family here. My grandmother retired here, and my parents live and work here. This community has provided my family with so much. We have enjoyed a high quality of life here and I want to ensure it is available for my children and future generations. There is so much to do and enjoy in Stettler, we are lucky to live in a small rural town with numerous amenities on our doorstep such as the rec centre, a wide variety of downtown businesses, excellent schools, beautiful parks and walking trails, a great museum and too much more to list. Stettler is a place that I am proud to call home.
