MY HOMETOWN, MISSISSAUGA
NEARLY half a century and counting
I am the proud son of immigrant parents who came to Canada in 1960. For nearly 50 years, I have called Mississauga home, and my roots here run deep. Growing up, I spent my youth in Cooksville, and later lived in Rathwood, Creditview, and Meadowvale before making Lorne Park, right here in Ward 2, my permanent home over 20 years ago.
Having lived across our community, I have witnessed Mississauga’s remarkable evolution firsthand. I even remember being evacuated during the famous 1979 train derailment. It remains a powerful early memory of how our city comes together in times of crisis.
That sense of city-wide resilience and community care is exactly what drives me to serve Ward 2 today.
FAMILY FIRST
the foundation of leadership
I am the proud father of two young adult daughters. Raising them here has been my greatest privilege, and my deepest hope is that I have provided them with the guidance and foundation they need to flourish.
ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET
Real World Problem Solving
Balancing family life with running my own business for over thirty years has grounded me in practical problem-solving, financial accountability, and the vital importance of building a strong, well-supported city that serves all of our residents today.
SHOWING UP
Hands-On Community Leadership
Beyond my professional life, I dedicate myself to helping people through hands-on volunteering and community service. I have proudly served as President of the Lorne Park Watercolours Residents' Association for over 16 years and as President of The Oakville Players local theatre group for over 8 years.
a caregiver's heart
Family caregiving with dignity
Of all the titles I have held, my most cherished role has always been that of a caregiver to my family, my friends, and my neighbours. This was profoundly shaped by the journey of caring for my aging parents, supporting my mother through her final days with dementia right here in Ward 2 at Sheridan Villa, and continuing to be there for my father, who still calls Mississauga home.
why i'm runninG now
the right time to step up
For many years, my time was deeply devoted to caring for my family and giving back to those around me.
With an empty nest, the passing of my mother in 2022, and the heartbreaking loss of my beloved dog Chloe after 16 wonderful years together, I’m more than ready to step into a new chapter.
I am fully committed to focusing my time, energy, and heart on being your strong, dedicated voice at City Hall.
priorities for ward 2
protect the community
I am running because I want to bring both practical leadership and deep empathy to our city. Raising my daughters here, running a local business, and caring for my aging parents have given me a 360-degree view of the realities our residents face at every stage of life. Crucially, my background in business taught me the fiscal responsibility needed to make smart, tough decisions at City Hall.
Because Ward 2 is my home, your concerns are my concerns. Through years of active community involvement and staying engaged with the issues facing our city, I hear you. We need smart development that brings housing to Mississauga, but does it responsibly, ensuring we have the infrastructure to actually support it, while protecting the unique character of all our neighbourhoods.
This means we must protect our green spaces, tackle traffic congestion, improve road safety, and ensure your tax dollars are respected. I will champion these civic priorities while fiercely advocating for our seniors to receive the dignity they deserve, ensuring opportunity and support for our youth, and promoting peaceful coexistence with local wildlife.
you'll be heard
setting higher expectations
If elected, staying connected with you will be a top priority. I am running because I believe deeply in public service, and that means I am here to serve our community. You can count on me to work diligently to respond to calls and emails and make time to listen to your neighbourhood concerns. That's the most important part of the job!
Ready to Get to Work for you
let's build ward 2 together
I want to bring my city-wide perspective, business experience, and caregiver’s heart to City Hall to represent Ward 2 for all of us.
