I registered for Ward 1
eight years ago but withdrew my name as I felt I did not have enough
experience in the community to adequately represent the residents.
Since then, I have become
involved in many committees and gained valuable experience in many
aspects of our City:
·
Served 8 years on the Welland Transit Advisory Committee
·
Currently serving on the Welland Community Wellness Complex Advisory
Committee
·
Past Chair and Treasurer and currently Vice-Chair of the Rose City
Seniors Centre Foundation Board for the last 6 years while the Seniors
Centre was transformed into the Wellness Complex
·
Resident and currently Treasurer of the Wesley-Robins Retirement Village
·
Currently serving as Treasurer of Welland Brethren in Christ Church
Leadership Board where we have just conducted a pastoral search for a
new lead pastor and we welcome Pastor Andrew Stulp and his family to our
community
·
Currently serving as chairman of the Welland Recreational Canal
Corporation
·
Night school instructor for the DSBN at Centennial High School for the
"Introduction to Computers for Seniors" programme
·
Mall Santa at the Seaway Mall for the last 7 years and love the children
and their wish lists
Received my Bachelor of
Science Degree in Applied Mathematics majoring in Computer Science from
McMaster University 40 years ago.
Served on the Board of
Directors of FirstOntario and Canal City Savings Credit Union.
Married to my high school
sweetheart Sandra for the past 40 years and we have one adult daughter
Amanda.
Worked at the Stelco chain
of companies including Hilton Works in Hamilton and Page Hersey
Works/Stelpipe and Welland Tube Works/Welland Pipe Ltd here in Welland
when I moved my family here in 1986.
I worked 31 years at
Stelco in the Chemical Lab, Payroll, Accounting, Systems and Purchasing
Departments before retiring in 2004.
The position of City
Councillor is one of authority to make decisions and guide the future
direction for the Corporation and I believe candidates should apply by
submitting their résumé so that the residents can decide who the best
person they want to make those decisions for the City. Campaign promises
reflect the wish lists of both the candidates and the residents and then
it becomes City Council's task to decide which of these items will mould
and transform our City into a place where we can afford and be proud of
and hopefully attract others to enjoy the amenities we have to offer.
