A longtime resident of Mitchell, my family's roots run deep throughout all of West Perth.
Now, I am a young father that wants to see the best for West Perth so that my kids can grow up and thrive in the community that I love.
Background
Mitchell Born and Raised
Growing up in Mitchell, my roots in this community run deep, with a family history that spans generations across West Perth. I spent my childhood playing minor sports on local fields and rinks, attending our neighborhood schools, and learning firsthand what makes this town special. My commitment to our community began early, including serving as a student representative on the transition board that guided the amalgamation of Mitchell Public School and Upper Thames Elementary School. These lifelong involvements gave me an enduring respect for our shared history and a strong foundation for serving our town today.
Today, I am raising my own family in the southwest end of Mitchell with my wife Abbey, our young son William and our dog Moose, my connection to this town is deeper than ever. Through Abbey's work as a teacher at our local high school and my own involvement with local rec sports leagues and events, we are plugged into the daily lives, successes, and real concerns of West Perth families every single day.
This history and hands-on involvement is what drives my desire to serve this community. I'm running to bring an active, grounded perspective to local government, working to shape practical solutions that keep our community a thriving, supportive place for the next generation to grow up in.
