    About Me:

    This past term, I have proven to be a trustee who listens, communicates, and stands up for those who need assistance. I am a husband and a father to our young family. Our daughter Emmy is excited to be entering grade two. I believe that a strong Catholic School system provides a foundation for faith development, personal growth, and a passion for community service.

    I am a performing arts educator with my wife Candi Badanai where we empower youth with confidence (Paramount Live), or adults (Badanai Theatre). I work in higher education marketing (Lakehead University) and previously privacy & corporate communications (Northwest Health Alliance, North West LHIN). I actively volunteer with organizations and service groups. I have been honoured with a Paul Harris Fellow, and a Thunder Bay Arts and Heritage Award.

    I have served on the following Board committees: Audit, Special Education Advisory, Supervised Alternative Learning, Student Transportation, Communications & Public Relations, Student Discipline, and Vice-Chair.

    I am committed to being an accessible and responsive resource for families. I believe in honest, respectful communication and understand the complexities facing this generation of diverse youth. I believe striving for equality is essential to ensure each student receives what they require to help them meet their educational, social, and emotional needs. Together we will continue to improve the lives of children and families. I appreciate your support.
