I have lived in Rockland since 2012 along with my wife, three young children, and two dogs. We feel very fortunate to live in such a naturally beautiful community. I am a Project Management Professional (PMP) with a Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) and Masters of Business Administration (MBA). I have been a Director on the RNA Board and a member of the Land Use Committee (LUC) since 2015, and feel that I bring a balanced perspective to the LUC and its role in land use issues that impact Rockland. I also enjoy squash, golf, skiing, hiking, camping, and generally keeping myself active.
I was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia and moved to Victoria as a teenager with my parents and three sisters in 1973. I graduated with an Art History degree from UVic in 1981 and began teaching in the community. Because I just can’t seem to break my addiction to learning, I’m currently working on my doctoral dissertation. (which may well prove to be the cure I need!) I moved to Rockland in 1985 when I married a Rockland resident, and I’ve been here joyfully ever since, raising two sons, tending to a heritage home (with rental basement suite) and a large garden. Walking several times a day with my four-legged family members has allowed me the delight of meeting many of my neighbours. Through them I’ve built a keen awareness of the long-term and developing needs of the neighbourhood. I’ve served on several arts-related boards, and I’m honoured to serve on the board of the RNA, where I currently handle the communications portfolio.
