Hello my fellow Brantford Residents, welcome to my AMA post. There is no time limit, I'll respond to any question or comment made for myself, just bare with me as i do work full time. Here's a brief rundown of myself.

I currently live in Ward 5, grew up in both Mississauga and Brantford, and have traveled or lived in various provinces throughout Canada. 

I'm raising my growing family, as i work in Logistics and Inventory Management for Johnson Controls Inc. Im also head of the JHSC, so I spend everyday helping and caring for those around me. I'd like to bring that same hard working work ethic, as well as my critical-thinking problem solving skills, and compassionate leadership to City Hall.

I have over a decade of experience in Customer Service, Inventory and Team Management, as well first aid & JHSC experience, plus Store and Warehouse Management. I also have a few years of electrical, construction, drywalling, and carpentry experience. 

I currently have no ties to anyone at City Hall or the current council, I'm just a guy that wants to get in and do the right thing for the city and most importantly, Ward 5.

Ive knocked on almost half of this wards doors, so if you haven't seen my flyer yet, im on my way. I believe in listening before leading, and I believe my platform reflects that.
