My wife Dawna and I have lived in the Markdale portion of Grey Highlands since leaving the Toronto area in January of 1988. I had great careers with the Provincial Government and the City of North York. I learned I can help people and get things done without raising taxes.

We love our town and surrounding area but recognize its shortcomings, there are too many ongoing store vacancies and there needs to be a vision for restoring all of our urban areas with a pride in our commercial and residential properties while respecting our significant heritage buildings. Upgrades to service infrastructure is long overdue.

Increasing tourism initiatives for all of Grey Highlands while promoting local farming opportunities is paramount to my campaign.

I look forward to your support for Mayor on Monday October 25, 2010.

A change for the better.
