My wife Cindy and I moved to Sparwood in 1995 when I was transferred here with the RCMP. I retired from the RCMP in 2000. We have 3 children (Amanda, Matthew and Christine) and 4 grandchildren. Our two daughters and grandchildren live in Sparwood. Our son is presently a Sgt. with the Canadian Armed Forces. I have been on Sparwood Council previously for 9 years. From 2002-2005 I was a Councillor and from 2005 to 2011 I was Mayor. In 2011 I ran in the Federal election and was elected to the 41st sitting of Parliament and was the Member of Parliament for Kootenay-Columbia from 2011 to 2015.
I envision Sparwood as a progressive community which will provide opportunities for those both young and old. We are proud of our history as a coal mining town and will continue to work with the coal industry to ensure that our community is both healthy and prosperous for years to come.
