Hello

I came to this city at 18 years old. After moving between my original home in the Kawartha Lakes (Pontypool), Port Perry, and Barrie all of which are within Ontario, where I grew and learned with 2 older brothers, a single mother and 2 grandparents. During my youth I excelled in sports such as baseball, track and field, boxing, and bowling. When I arrived as a young man coming from something somewhat broken and looking to fix what I could, I graduated high school, found a career path, married an amazing woman and started a family. When my children became school aged we attempted to send them into the public school system. This was a trying task especially having a child on the autism spectrum and quite quickly was apparent that this was not going to be beneficial. A year later when observing a decline in my other child's work and attitude towards school we decided to start the home school journey that we are still going on today. 

I had a focus while in school on child and youth work and completed a co-op with grade 1 to 3 students within a behavioural classroom. This was with oversight by the teacher and a child and youth worker within the classroom setting. Upon completing high school it was necessary to begin working due to some personal responsibilities with family. This put on hold further education into the child and youth work field but began a career in private security, where I have now spent almost 20 years and obtained roles such as Director of Security and Security Manager. I have multiple certifications such as First Aid, CPR, AED and have experience in emergency situations of all types. 

I have a confident and assertive but friendly attitude. I focus on health and fitness in my down time with a 5 day weekly workout routine. I provide support and attempt to assist wherever possible in the school events and activities.
