I was born in Saint John, N.B. and graduated from Moncton High School in 1970. After starting my working career with C.N.R. in Moncton, I took a sales representative job with Canadian General Electric Ltd. and moved to Bathurst, N.B. in 1976. In 1990, I married Gail Noel from this area and moved to Jacquet River in 1991. Our son, Ryan, was born in 1993 and I have been employed with Michelin Tire as an account manager for the past 23 years. I am enjoying my 2nd term on Council and I look forward to moving our municipality forward. |

I was raised in Armstrong Brook, now known as Belledune - Ward 2. I graduated from Bathurst High School in 1977. Upon finishing university, I traveled and worked in the cities of St. Johns NF, Halifax NS, London and Toronto ON. I moved back to my beloved Belledune in 1997. My family tree is somewhat unique in the history and the making of Belledune. On my father's side, I am a 4th generation descendent of the first settler in Jacquet River (now known as Belledune - Ward 1). On my mother's side, I am 5th generation descendent of the first European settler in Belledune. My mother's childhood home was situated in the area of what is now known as, "The Port of Belledune". I have taken up the challenge to be a municipal elected official. My vision for our present council is to see we stay connected to this community through exceptional teamwork with positive progress in mind. |

I was born in 1960, in Kingston, Ontario. My parents were displaced citizens of our village who left to provide a better life for their family. My wife Cheryl (Meade) and I moved here eight years ago when I retired from the Canadian Armed Forces. We currently live in Armstrong Brook with our four children. We have lived and worked in different communities throughout Canada, and our plans were to return to Belledune. We are happy to be here, and I have stayed actively involved to help make this a better place to live. Health, Education, Youth Activities and Employment have become priorities in our household since we moved here. I am a working man and face the same problems many of you do. I am a practical and forward thinker. I am looking forward to being involved in the molding of our community. May we all be well and prosper. |
