Red Deer Elections
For Red Deer Catholic Separate School Trustee
City of Red Deer
Red Deer Area Ward
Red Deer has been my family's home since 2014. My wife and I are blessed with two daughters and as a parent myself, I believe that families are the first and most important caregivers and educators of their children believe that Red Deer Catholic Schools should honor and support that role by partnering with parents while providing a faith-based education. My career in the trades, has given me the understanding of the skills students need to thrive in rewarding careers after high school.
