About Jeff
A Kingstonian, Plain and Simple
For more than 13 years, Jeff has proudly called Kingston home, but his connection to the city goes back much further. Growing up on Amherst Island, Kingston has always been the place where he worked, shopped, attended events, and built lasting relationships.
As a Queen's University student he lived downtown for four years and worked for the summer at the Visitor and Convention Bureau where he discovered and shared Kingston's history with both visitors and residents.
As a member of Juno Award winning rock band Moist, he practiced the art of collaboration, communication, and perseverance.
As Director of the national team-building program Rock the Stars, Jeff guided corporate groups through activities designed to challenge, motivate, and strengthen teamwork. These positions gave him the opportunity to travel the world but he always knew he would return to Kingston, and would raise his family here.
Since his return, his commitment to the community has included serving as Secretary of the Parent Council at Cataraqui Woods Elementary School, working alongside parents, teachers, and staff to support students and strengthen school engagement, planning and participating in special events, assisting coaching soccer and attending the many special events sponsored by the city.
In recent years, Jeff became a Journeyman Electrician and has worked on many of the homes being built in Kingston's growing neighbourhoods, including Woodhaven in Loyalist-Cataraqui. This has given him a unique, hands-on perspective to the opportunities and challenges facing the neighbourhood.
Whether on a construction site, volunteering in schools, leading teams, or performing on stage, Jeff has always believed in bringing people together, solving problems, and contributing to a stronger community. Those are the same values he will bring to City Council.
Why I'm Running
It's Time for a Change
Loyalist-Cataraqui is one of Kingston's most vibrant and rapidly growing communities. We are fortunate to have beautiful parks and green spaces, excellent schools, thriving local businesses, and welcoming neighbourhoods. At the same time, our community faces important challenges, including managing growth, improving transportation and infrastructure, maintaining affordability, supporting local businesses, and ensuring residents continue to have access to the services and amenities they need.
I believe in listening to, learning from and advocating for my neighbours. As your City Councillor, my priority will be to ensure that residents of Loyalist - Cataraqui have a strong voice at City Hall. I will learn what matters most to you and bring those concerns forward to Council. I will advocate for practical solutions that reflect the needs and priorities of our community.
This campaign is not just about electing a City Councillor. It is about ensuring that every resident has a voice in the decisions that shape our community. I believe councillors must be accessible, approachable, and accountable.
Please reach out, share your thoughts, and join the conversation. Together, we can build on the strengths of Loyalist - Cataraqui, address the challenges ahead, and create a community that continues to be a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
