I am business minded and future focused and believe together, we can build strong communities. I am always ready to contribute, not afraid of hard work and committed to every venture I am part of. I believe you can only expect an organization or community to give you as much as you are willing to give it. As a community supporter and an entrepreneur, I have always been welcomed and encouraged to thrive and succeed in my business endeavours. Grande Prairie’s entrepreneurial spirit is second to none and was recently recognized in the Financial Post as “the first to emerge from the brutal recession”. I recognize that it’s opportunities like this that need to be managed responsibly with foresight and to best enhance the future of this region. As we are fortunate to live in a region with such an excellent opportunity it is critical that all opportunities and risks be recognized, captured and planned for.
