MY FAMILY

My family and I live in Ward 7. My wife Melanie and I were married here in London and a few years back we decided that this was the perfect place for us to start a family. Today we have three children (Ainsley, McKenna, and Max) and we all love our vibrant and active community of friends and neighbours. We are proud to call this city our home. Melanie has been a high school teacher and vice principal here in London for over 15 years. We couldn’t imagine being a part of any other community because London has so much to offer. We want our kids to grow up in a city that realizes its great potential and the work ahead is to ensure a sustainable future for all young Londoners. As this re-election campaign begins, I again thank my family for their support and encouragement. I also thank our friends, neighbours, and all those Londoners who have encouraged me to continue to serve and represent them.
