As the 2025 Liberal candidate for Parry Sound–Muskoka, I helped lead one of the strongest Liberal gains in Ontario — lifting our vote share by about 21 points, more than double the provincial swing and among the largest rural gains in the province.

I’m a volunteer firefighter, parent council member, and community builder. I’ve helped secure grants for firefighter mental health, raised funds for local schools and charities, and worked to expand Liberal membership and engagement across rural Ontario.

Before entering politics, I built a career in film, television, and business — writing, directing, and producing award-winning projects that created jobs and generated millions in economic activity. I worked my way through school, earning an MBA in International Business and Management, before helping grow a media company from five to sixty employees and later running my own production company here in Muskoka.

I was born to an immigrant father and a journalist mother who built a small construction business from nothing. From them, I learned the value of hard work, humility, and perseverance. From cleaning toilets at 13 to building a career through grit and teamwork, my life has been about rolling up my sleeves and getting the job done.

I’m running for Rural Representative because I believe the future of our Party depends on rural strength. We can’t win without it — and we shouldn’t try to. Rural Ontario deserves a real voice at the table, and I’m ready to fight for it.
