I’ve been the Councillor for Ward 4 – Honey Harbour from 2018 – 2026.
Before that I spent more than 35 years in a professional sales career, selling customer service and customer experience solutions to executives at Fortune 500 companies across North America.
I’ve also put in over 50 years of volunteer work with organizations like the Georgian Bay Association, the Honey Harbour Association (20 years on the board, 12 as President), the Go Home Lake Cottagers Association and the Ontario Onsite Wastewater Association — representing cottager and resident interests to local government and to provincial and federal ministries.
For eight years I provided business and marketing services to an R&D firm that invented a technology converting residential wastewater to near-potable water. That work took me to the US EPA, the Water Research Foundation, and California’s water boards — and it built deep, practical expertise in water and wastewater that I bring to the Township table.
The customer-experience background is why I take a resident-first approach to the job; the executive-sales background is why I’m comfortable with the communication, negotiation and follow-through it takes to actually get results.
