Local service, practical leadership, and a long commitment to community.
I am a senior public-sector leader with extensive experience in municipal operations, emergency services, and community governance.
Over a 20-year career as a firefighter in Pickering with the last 4 years as a Senior Officer, and 2 years in Georgina, I operated within complex municipal systems requiring real-time decision-making, interdepartmental coordination, and risk-managed service delivery. This experience aligns directly with executive-level municipal leadership in operations, public safety, and organizational performance.
As Founder of Prestige 360 since 1985, I have led strategic communications, stakeholder engagement, and service delivery for businesses and organizations, developing measurable outcomes through branding, digital presence, and market positioning.
My governance experience includes serving on the Uxbridge BIA Executive Board and as President of the Uxbridge Chamber of Commerce, where I contributed to economic development strategy, stakeholder alignment, and policy-influenced decision-making.
As a member of AMCTO, I align my professional development with the competencies required of senior municipal administrators, including municipal operations, service delivery, government relations, financial awareness, and strategic organizational leadership.
I bring a disciplined, outcomes-driven approach consistent with Director/CAO-level expectations: translating policy into execution, aligning resources with priorities, and ensuring accountability through measurable results.
