WHY I AM RUNNING
Rooted in Barrhaven
For 22 years, my wife and I have been proud to call Barrhaven our home. It is where we raised our two children, who attended local OCDSB schools. As a parent, I share the same personal stake every family has in the quality of education our children receive and the future of our local schools.
A Dedicated Advocate for Our Schools
I bring a balanced perspective built on decades of community involvement, classroom experience, and public service:
-
Community Volunteer
Dedicated to supporting and strengthening the local institutions our families depend on every day.
-
Passionate Former Educator
Drawing on real classroom experience to keep student learning and well-being at the heart of decision-making.
-
20 Years of Public Service
Equipped with deep governance experience to navigate complex administrative systems effectively.
Financial Expertise for Measurable Results
As a financial management professional holding a Ph.D., MBA, and CFA designation, alongside peer-reviewed academic research, I bring strong fiscal oversight to the school board table. My priority is ensuring that every education dollar is managed responsibly to deliver clear, measurable benefits directly to students and classrooms.
WHY THIS ELECTION IS DIFFERENT
Restoring financial stability and transparent governance to the OCDSB requires more than good intentions: it requires real financial expertise.
With a provincial supervisor appointed to oversee board operations following consecutive deficits and depleted reserves, the path forward demands disciplined oversight.
Together, let's build a stronger future for Barrhaven students, families and schools.
Students First.
Families Heard.
Staff Supported.
Community Involved.
Financially Strong.
