Biography

My wife Lynn & I have been very active in the community since we first moved here in 1975. We have raised our three children in Canmore, and we both continue to do what we can to foster the family oriented nature of our community.

I have been making my living as a potter for more than 40 years, with a professional studio in Canmore for most of that time. As well, I owned and operated two commercial art galleries (in Canmore and Banff) over a 15-year period. While in the mayor’s job I find little time to be in the studio – and the pottery is now being operated by my eldest daughter, herself a professional potter.

I am now in my fourth term on Town Council - first elected as a Councillor in 2004, and again in 2010. I was elected to the Mayor’s seat in a by-election in 2012, and then in the general elections in 2013 and 2017.
