Experience & background
Campaign describes supervising construction and energy projects in Western Canada, including environmental, safety, budget and crew responsibilities. [85]
Issue positions
Campaign proposals are attributed positions. A blank area is an information gap, never an assumed vote against an issue.
Housing & growth
Review status not recorded for this section. Missing information does not establish a position. Submit information or a correction ↗
Safety & homelessness
Supports coordinated work with frontline agencies, recovery and work pathways, with outcomes assessed rather than spending alone. [85]
Would prioritize recovery and transitions into work, measuring whether programmes reduce homelessness rather than judging them by spending alone. His platform does not supply an outcome target or evaluation timetable. [85]
Transportation
Advocates traffic management, development traffic-impact consideration and practical transit. [85]
Calls for road, utility and transit planning to be coordinated with new development, and for reliable connections between underserved neighbourhoods, employment and services. [85]
Taxes & spending
Emphasizes efficient spending and making budgets understandable to residents. [85]
Business & jobs
Would reduce regulatory barriers for small operators and treat local businesses as partners in municipal decisions. Specific bylaws for amendment are not identified. [85]
Accountability
Calls for open budgets, clear reporting and visible councillor voting records. [85]
Climate, land & water
Campaign cites environmental-protection experience; a specific individual climate or wildfire implementation plan was not verified. [85]
Community & services
Review status not recorded for this section. Missing information does not establish a position. Submit information or a correction ↗
Shared BRACE platform
BRACE describes these four candidates as independents sharing priorities: safety, business, wildfire prevention, housing, transportation, homelessness services and spending accountability. Shared commitments are not a substitute for each candidate’s detailed proposals. [6]

How to read these statements
Voting record

No individual voting records have been verified for this section. Submit information or a correction ↗
Business & finances
Public business & professional interests
A July 2025 Castanet report identifies him as owner of Kelowna Seadoo Rentals and participating in marine-operator advocacy. This establishes a dated business connection; a complete current ownership inventory and valuations remain unverified. [105]
Personal net worth
No reliable, dated net-worth disclosure was verified in the reviewed sources. Business roles, real-estate interests, public remuneration and campaign donations cannot establish personal net worth. Submit information or a correction ↗
Campaign finances
Campaign receipts and expenses are separate from personal wealth. Historical Kelowna campaign filings can be searched at Elections BC. The City lists January 15, 2027 as the 2026 campaign disclosure deadline. [8][2]
Politics & broader policy
Political alignment & party history
BRACE coalition · independent
BRACE identifies its candidates as independents. Broader ideological alignment is unverified. [6]
Broader public & foreign policy
Dated personal statements, historical campaigns and organizational positions are distinguished below.
In July 2025, joined marine operators challenging City commercial launch fees. Raised safety concerns at the Water Street launch and suggested relocating a pedestrian crossing and reducing nearby parking during the busy season. This is business-related advocacy predating the election. [105]
