July 21, 2026 — I am pleased to announce that I will be seeking re-election as a Port Coquitlam School Trustee, continuing the work I have championed on behalf of students, families, and communities across School District 43.

First elected in 2014, I have served three terms on the Board and have been Board Chair since 2021. During that time, I have helped guide the District through significant growth, investment, and renewal, including the rebuilding of several schools, nearly tripling the number of Education Assistants, and the completion of our new Directions 2030 Strategic Plan.

I am particularly proud of the role I played in securing provincial funding to rebuild Hazel Trembath Elementary School following the tragic fire that destroyed the school. Despite provincial resistance and delays, I remained committed to ensuring that students and families would have a modern and permanent school in our community.

“Serving our community as a School Trustee has been an honour. We’ve made significant progress over the years, but there is still important work ahead. I remain committed to strong public education, safe schools, and ensuring students receive the support they need to succeed.”

As a father of three, a business owner, and a technology professional, I bring both personal and professional experience to the role. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Technology Management from BCIT and volunteer with a local school breakfast program. Over the years, I have also contributed my time to many community organizations and initiatives, including PoCo Soccer, District PAC, PoCo Heritage, and the May Day Task Force.

I am also pleased to endorse fellow Port Coquitlam School Trustee Christine Pollock for re-election.

“Christine understands firsthand the challenges faced by students and staff. As a former Education Assistant in SD43, she brings valuable perspective to the Board and has been a strong advocate for supportive learning environments for Port Coquitlam students. I look forward to continuing our work together.”

“Strong public schools help build strong communities. I am excited about the future and the opportunity to continue serving students and families for another four years.”
