In the Community
I am honoured to serve our community
In 2020 I logged well over a million steps, and met thousands of people as I knocked on the doors of Eastview. I met people who shared their joys, concerns, struggles and successes. Getting to know the people of Eastview has made me a better husband, father, and neighbour. Saskatoon Eastview is an amazing place, and I am honoured to serve our community as an MLA because I know we can work together to build a strong and sustainable future.
