I was born and raised in Mossbank Saskatchewan and left the farm to seek out every farm boy’s dream which is to either play football for the Riders or join the RCMP!

The RCMP was the choice and I spent the next 26+ years working in smaller detachments in northern Alberta. Having grown up in a smaller community I found I was well suited for policing in small diverse settings. I’ve always inserted myself into the communities in a variety of roles and have always enjoyed working with youth. I trained in Judo and as I transferred into other communities, I would start local Judo clubs and have continued to teach judo to this day. I could see the benefit of this type of interaction with the community and in many occasions situations were resolved because of the personal relationship I had with the community.

On my retirement from the RCMP it was suggested that I should run for Town of Barrhead Council as the Municipal elections were taking place that fall. I was elected to council and completed 3, 3-year terms, then ran for Mayor and have just started my 2nd term in that capacity.

As if I didn’t have enough things on my plate, in 2008 I became a Traffic Safety Coordinator for the University of Alberta, Alberta Centre for Injury Control & Research. This started as a pilot project to work with a number or communities and assist them in dealing with a wide range of Traffic Safety issues. The project was very successful and Alberta Transportation took over the project and I became a Traffic Safety Consultant for the Office of Traffic Safety. In total I spent 9 years in that role with my region stretching from Westlock to Grande Cache. In this role I worked on projects involving ATV safety, Pedestrian training, young and senior drivers, commercial vehicles and bicycles. This allowed me to work in communities alongside enforcement agencies, school divisions, municipal staff and community groups.

Through all of this I have dragged my wife, Grace along with me and she has been a supporter and cheerleader the entire time… well maybe not the entire time!!

We have an adult daughter and 3 teenage grandchildren who all reside nearby.
