I'm a journeyman electrician. I trained at BCIT and run my own electrical company here on the south Island, working alongside other contractors and their apprentices on job sites across the region.

Before that, I spent time with Katimavik, working in communities across Canada that looked nothing like the one I grew up in. It's where I learned that most public problems aren't solved by one level of government acting alone.

I'm 26, bilingual in English and French, and I've spent my working life inspecting buildings, pricing jobs, and being held to a code. That's the habit I'd bring to the board table: ask what a plan costs, who's responsible, and how we'll know it worked
