Brian is passionate about community and our children’s future and if elected, he will work hard to give parents a voice in how our children are being educated while putting students’ needs first.

Brian fosters transparency, accountability and working together to achieve the common goal of providing the best education for our children while supporting parents, teachers and schools in which we live and work.

With over twenty years of management and business experience working for Canada’s top companies, Brian believes with the right guidance and support, we can have the best educational system in the world right here in Maple Ridge.

By putting our kids and their needs first, we can better prepare them for life’s challenges and Brian believes the way to do that is by giving parents back their voice and a seat and the table. Parents want to know what’s going on in our kids schools and have a say in what they want to see more or less of, and I will bring that back to this role on the board of trustees in School District #42. 

If elected, Brian’s top 3 Educational Pillars will be; Enhanced Communication between Parents and Schools Working with teachers, schools & the ministry to build a better education plan Brian will work to close gaps on important ‘life skills’ needed in today’s world Increased physical education for our children to get the exercise they need. Knowledge is power and the education of our children should be our top priority in putting families first. If elected I will work hard to give parents their voice back to shape our children’s future in the right direction to ensure we are giving them the skills to thrive in community and be the best they can be reaching their full potential. 

My boys have grown up here over the past seven years where I have coached sports working well with parents to achieve our team goals and have effectively worked with my son’s schools to bridge gaps with sensitive situations such as bullying. 

Brian believes he has the experience and diplomacy needed to get things done in this complicated world and hopes to give back to his community through this trustee role in asking for your support in this fall’s election in School District #42 for Maple Ridge.
