Bio

I moved to Powell River in 1991 and I have lived, worked in and run a small wireless communications business providing products and service to city, boating, logging and mining as well as non-commercial customers up and down the Sunshine Coast. I was born in the East Kootany of BC and have lived and worked in British Columbia all my life. I have lived, worked and experimented with my own small business while living in the Vancouver Lower Mainland for 28 years. The stroke of both federal and provincial Liberals pens cost my business and many others small or micro businesses. Problems then and after with government and hearing the stories of so many others both workers and self-employed made my decision to run.

I have been with the Canadian Armed Forces for 12 years. Serving as a Senior NCO in Communications Command/Royal Canadian Signal Corps establishes my ability to communicate, manage information, problem solve, work in teams, complete projects and tasks. It also gave me the skills and confidence to take on responsibility, personal management skills and safety at work. I was responsible for supervising and training up to 60 people and self-continuous learning.

You have access to 35 years experience including organizations like Canadian Armed Forces, CNCP Telecommunications, Sperry Univac Computer Systems, Canadian General Electric, Mircotel/Lenkurt, Radio Shack, Canadian Electronics, Telemarine Technologies, North Island Communications, self-employment and Private Security Services.

My education includes learning centers like Prince of Wales, Canadian Armed Forces, Vancouver Community College, Malaspina College/University, Education Direct and Academy of Learning, Justice Institute of BC, Excel College. My diplomas and certifications include Electronics Technician (Telecom Option), Network+/Server +, Computer Technician, Business Management, Computer Graphic Arts and Auto Marine Technician, Emergency First Aide, Air Breaks, SNR NCO, Open Water Scuba Diver, Basic Ocean Sailing, Down Hill Skier, Force 2 Wind Surfing, Private Security Services (BST).

I am a citizen of British Columbia and the last 35 years have been very troubling, as I have watched BC deteriorate rapidly over those years. I, like everyone else have voted for the other parties for years and like those other voters you only get to vote once and are never paid attention to again. This will not do. I have been to Federal and Provincial town hall and candidate meetings and have watched the frustration of the people, tired of not being listened to and having no say past election. I decided to run for the BC Refederation Party, as the others were all the same and the same groups of people running them. The BC Refederation Party is the only party that did not have the usual people that run the other parties and had the only clear and decisive polices to tackle the problems.

This is the only party that believes in equality for all, real democracy not the elected dictatorship format currently of government and the restoration of the Canadian federation to its original intended format.

I served as a director for the Federal Reform Party for Powell River and volunteered for the campaigns over the years and volunteered for the local cable channel as a camera operator, etc. during the last 17 years on the Sunshine Coast. I have done my time on the phones, put up and maintained signs etc. during those campaigns.

I ran for MLA for the Powell River Sunshine coast riding for Western Refederation Party of BC now BC Refederation Party in the BC 2005 election and now will be running again in 2009.
