We Grew Up
Together
I grew up in Lincoln. Now, as our community grows and changes, I’m stepping up to bring a new perspective to Ward 1.

About me
My Story
Biography
I was born in 2005 in the West Lincoln Memorial hospital, and from the very beginning I wasn’t exactly existing through life alone. I was born a twin, and grew up as the oldest of 3 boys.
I grew up in Lincoln, where most of my childhood was spent doing the usual things that kids do. I played soccer for the Lions club, participated in other sports like Hockey, took Karate, spent my summer afternoons at the library, and found just about any excuse to be outside.
I attended Senator Gibson from kindergarten all the way through 3rd grade, before moving to Central French Immersion Public School. There, I took part in clubs like Me to We, the Gardening Club, and a few others, as well. French continued to be a big part of my education, and eventually I carried the program with me into high school at Grimsby Secondary School.
In 2023, I graduated alongside my peers, becoming part of the first graduating class of West Niagara Secondary School.
As I got older, my interests started to branch out. I became increasingly interested in writing, in politics, and in business, each of which took me in a slightly different direction. Writing eventually became more than just an interest of mine. I began writing poetry and, over time, turned those poems into my first published book, The Way I Adored You, selling over 400 copies. What started as something I wrote for myself eventually became something I was able to share with hundreds of readers.
I initially started my post-secondary education at the University of Ottawa to pursue a career in International Business. As I progressed through the year, however, I began to realize that my interests, and the career I saw myself pursuing, were both changing. Today, I’m studying Political Science at Brock University and figuring out where that path will take me next.

Community involvement
Community Involvement has been a part of my entire life in Lincoln for as long as I can remember. I’ve attended countless programs and events growing up at the Beamsville Public Library and grew up spending some time at the Grimsby Public Library as well. I went on to also represent Lincoln in the Lions Club soccer leagues and participate in skating and karate at the Peach King Centre! I have been fortunate to grow up alongside so many young people and families who continue to make our community what it is today.
My involvement began to grow as I did, especially through environmental initiatives at Central French Immersion Public School, including work to protect and give back to our local environment. I was even lucky enough to be selected to participate in a Niagara College water quality event. I later started to push myself even further by canvassing and serving as a scrutineer for Sam Oosterhoff during a provincial election, which gave me the chance to speak directly with local residents, take part in our town’s civic life, and hear firsthand about the concerns that matter most to them.
These experiences have shown me that community involvement doesn't have only one definition. Sometimes it means volunteering your time, sometimes it means stepping forward when you see something worth stepping up for, and sometimes it means caring enough about the place that raised you to want to give something back to it. Growing up here, I’ve also grown alongside an entire generation of young Lincoln residents whose voices and experiences matter to the future of our town. I hope to carry not only my own experiences with me, but also the perspective of the many young people I’ve grown up with who deserve to feel heard and represented in our community.

education
Being a student while running for council is something I’m proud of. I’m learning about government and public policy while also getting firsthand experience in local politics and the community I hope to represent. I may still be in the classroom, but that doesn’t mean I’m waiting to start learning about the work of public service. I’m doing both at the same time.

Why I'm running
Why I'm running
I'm running because I want to bring the perspective of someone who actually grew up here, and as someone who will have to live with the decisions made today decades from now.
For my generation, the choices Lincoln makes now will shape how this town looks like decades from now. The cost of living, housing, infrastructure, development, and the opportunities available to young people shouldn't be distant issues. They will determine whether people my age can afford to stay, build a career, raise a family, and continue calling Lincoln their home.
I want to bring that perspective to Council, while also making sure that it doesn't come at the expense of anyone else. Young people deserve a voice, too. But so do the families, seniors, newcomers, and long-time residents that make up our community.
I'm running because I want to build a Lincoln that my generation can inherit, and can be proud to call home.
As your ward councillor I will focus on…
01
Affordability
If residents are being asked to pay more, they deserve to know why, and they deserve to know that every dollar is being used wisely. As your councillor, I will push for responsible municipal spending, look for efficient ways to spend before asking residents to pay more. As your councillor I will also make sure essential services remain the priority.
02
Infrastructure
We shouldn’t build first and ask whether or not our roads, our drainage systems, water, and wastewater systems can handle it afterward. As your councillor, I will push for infrastructure priority over development, and for infrastructure to be considered alongside every major growth decision.
03
Affordable housing
Our town should be a place where we can all afford to stay, whether you’ve lived here your whole life or whether you’re just starting out. I will advocate for practical and affordable housing options that help young people, their families and other working residents stay in our community, while also making sure existing residents are heard and new housing is properly planned for the neighbourhood and its infrastructure.
04
Inclusion & Community
Every single resident deserves to feel like they have a place in Lincoln. As councillor, I will bring the perspectives of youth, families, and seniors to the Council table and advocate for accessible spaces, housing and distinct opportunities to participate in our community. Representation should mean more than hearing residents, rather it means making sure that they are heard when decisions are made in Council meetings.

The fine print
Municipal campaign contributions are subject to provincial limits and disclosure rules, and they are not tax deductible. Contributions can only be accepted from individuals — not corporations or unions. If a contribution exceeds the legal limit, I will return it. Questions about any of this are welcome; just ask.

Come anyway.
A campaign is only as strong as the people behind it. Come knock doors, help out, or simply spend some time with us getting to know the neighbours we’re hoping to represent.
