I pride myself on leading a life devoted to family and the betterment of my corporate and residential communities.

I have learned much through a lifetime of commitment to my family, coaching hockey and soccer, volunteering for local and regional community organizations and the Conservative Party both at the Provincial and the Federal level. I founded my company and continue to successfully manage it 20 years later; all the while providing over 600 IT students with their valuable first job after graduation.

I pledge to bring this lifetime of experiences and community service to the Senate committed first and foremost to furthering the EEE and the interests of Albertans.

I joined Jason Kenney’s Calgary South-East Constituency Board (Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Culture) in 2007, became Vice-President in 2009, and also served as his official agent in the May 2, 2011 Federal Election. In the last three elections Minister Kenney has obtained the highest voting percentage of any MP in the country, and has recorded the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th highest percentages of any MP of all-time.

In addition to the significant progress Jason has made with his Immigration portfolio, he was chosen by all MP’s of the House of Commons as the Most Outstanding Member of Parliament in 2010, and as the Hardest Working Member of Parliament this year.

Through Bill C-7, The Senate Reform Bill, Prime Minister Harper is committed to taking us through the first step to the EEE, allowing Senators to align their votes more closely with their provincial interests, thereby returning more power to the provinces.

Provinces are constitutionally sovereign for health care, education, manpower, and provincial taxation, but over the last several generations, the Federal Government has used its taxation powers to encroach on these areas. Reforming the Senate will allow provincial input into every aspect of federal legislation
