Raised in the West Shore and a graduate of Belmont High School, I bring a background in military service, engineering, business leadership and community involvement. I served 20 years in the Royal Canadian Air Force, retiring as a Lieutenant-Colonel, followed by 27 years in senior aerospace roles. As an independent management consultant, I specialize in strategic planning, business diagnostics, product development and performance management.
My community service spans education, the arts, business and sport. I serve on the boards on Royal Roads University, the Victoria Conservatory of Music and Green Transit Partners. My past roles include president of the WestShore Chamber of Commerce and the Westshore Rebels Football Club, along with service on municipal committees in Colwood and Langford.
My wife, Mindi and I have one daughter, Mariko, an engineering pursuing her master's degree at UBC.
