I grew up in Richmond and graduated from Richmond High and UBC. My wife, Lynn, and I have been married since 1982 and have three adult children.
After 35 years of service with the Vancouver Police Department, most recently as the Superintendent, North Command, I retired at the end of May. I was a member of the executive for the last 8 years, the Acting Chief for Transit Police, 2011, and the VPD’s Public Order Gold Commander for police responses to large protests and events.
I’ve received several citations as well as the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for service to the community and was inducted into the Order of Merit of Police Forces by the Governor General of Canada.
Community volunteerism has always been an important part of our family life and I’ve coached several teams, was president of the Richmond Kigoos Swim Club, and I’m an active cancer fundraiser and a current board member with the Richmond Commu nity Foundation.
From 2002 to 2008, I was elected for two-terms to the Richmond School Board. I believe in a safe, livable and inclusive Richmond and have the experience, skills and perspective to serve and to make a positive contribution on Council.
