Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
Surrey School Trustee since 2014, District PAC board member for 9 years, including President and Co-President for 4 1/2 years, and sat in numerous executive roles on elementary and secondary PACs for 11 years.

I’m proud to have served as a Surrey School Trustee since 2014.

During my past 4 years as Trustee, I’ve served as Board Liaison on a number of committees including Montessori Advisory, iDEAS 36, ELL Consortium, Surrey Crime Prevention Society, Surrey/White Rock Food Action Coalition. I am also presently serving on the BC School Trustees Association’s Professional Learning and Legislative Committees.

My wife and I have spent most of our lives in Surrey – our families each moved here before we started school, we attended Surrey schools (we met in high school), and now our son attends school here and our daughter recently graduated from a Surrey school as well. We have very strong ties to this community and its schools.

Prior to my time as School Trustee, I was a District PAC board member for 9 years, including President and Co-President for 4 1/2 years, and sat in numerous executive roles on elementary and secondary PACs for 11 years.

I would be honoured to serve as a Surrey School Trustee for another 4 years, continuing to support our students, teachers, support staff, and administrators in making Surrey the great School District that is. I would continue to do all I can to ensure that Surrey receives its share of funding and that the pace of new school constructions is accelerated as much as possible. If reelected, I look forward to once again attending dozens of community, district, and school events every year, in addition to the important committee and board meeting work that ensures our students have a safe, caring environment to learn in, led by our fantastic teachers, support staff, and administrators.
