Why I’m Running.
After years of volunteering, building businesses, organizing events, and listening to the people who actually live and work here - it became clear:
Clarenville deserves leadership that matches the real world we live in today.
The problem isn’t a lack of money.
It isn’t a lack of talent.
It’s a lack of leadership willing to face reality, ask better questions,
and move with the urgency our town needs.
I believe in people and math - not parties and politics.
Not Team Red.
Not Team Blue.
Team 1 + 1 = 2
We need younger voices at the table who understand
what it's like to actually build a life here in 2025 and the reality:
- Of running a small business without benefits or a guaranteed paycheque.
- Of balancing opportunity and affordability in a small town.
- Of the possibilities in front of us - and how to actually take action.
If we want Clarenville to grow, not just survive, we need leadership that can:
- Cut through the noise.
- Communicate clearly.
- Make decisions based on facts, not fear.
- Build community with honesty and courage - not politics as usual.
I’m not chasing a title.
I'm not running because I need something to do.
I'm running because after years of doing the work unofficially, I realized it was time to step up officially - or watch more opportunities pass us by.
I believe Clarenville's best days are still ahead.
But it won’t happen by accident.
It will take leadership grounded in real-world experience,
common sense, and a belief that voices under 50 matter.
If you’re ready for that,
I’m ready to work for you.
Who is this Guy?
I’m a 47-year-old entrepreneur,
Presidents Honour Roll Journalism Graduate,
former community newspaper editor,
and small business owner.
Shoal Harbour is home.
I moved from Niagara to Newfoundland in 2019.
I serve as Treasurer for Clarenville Coasts Tourism Association, and
I volunteer with the Clarenville Regional Arts Association.
My work spans journalism, marketing, photography, and tech -
all focused on telling real stories and building real community.
I am a firm believer that a high tide raises all ships -
and I have seen the benefits and economic proof that ideas like
SHARE | LEARN | NETWORK | GROW - work in action
and that 'knowing is half the battle.'
If you are looking for a voice under 50 -
leadership that speaks your language and gets things done.
