Armstrong means something to me.
This is our home. Here's my story.

I’ve lived in Armstrong for over 35 years. I raised my family here. I started a business here. I’ve coached, volunteered and worked alongside so many of you — at the rink, downtown, at community events, and just walking around town.
Over the years, I’ve seen Armstrong change and grow, and I’ve seen what makes this community special stay exactly the same: the people. The neighbours who show up for each other. The local business owners who take a risk on Main Street. The volunteers who run our events and our rec leagues.
I’m running for mayor because I believe Armstrong deserves leadership that listens, plans ahead, and puts our community first — not politics as usual, and not empty promises. Just someone who knows this town, cares about it, and is ready to put in the work.
Together, we can build an Armstrong we’re proud to call home.
