As a long-time member of the CHBA and a Past-President I have a deep passion for our industry. Over the past years I have noticed several stumbling blocks all levels of Government have applied to our industry creating multiple issues for our industry to flourish. I believe with my past knowledge and established relationships with multiple related departments I can be an affective voice to assist. I served the board of Central Okanagan and British Columbia for multiple years throughout the 90's with integrity and honesty allowing me to be effective in whatever areas I may be needed.

As I begin my career, it is becoming clear to me that to find success, however that is defined by individuals, I feel compelled to do and be involved in things that matter to me and the community I have decided to call home. The impact the CHBA-CO has and wisdom that comes from those have have a vision of what could be, is something I wish to be surrounded by. I will learn from these leaders and I will pay it forward in the knowledge and experience I gain by advocating and volunteering within the home builder sector throughout the Okanagan. I will continue to advance the work and build our city and vision together.
