About Mark

I went to Hespeler Public School. I grew up on these streets, and I never really left them.
I'm a father of eight and a grandfather of ten. Family is the centre of everything I do — and Hespeler is where that family was built. Birthday parties at the park. Hockey. The Reunion. The Music Festival. Forty years of showing up.
For 22 years I've worked in municipal operations — roads, snow removal, and the infrastructure most people never think about until it fails. I know how a city actually works: what a road rebuild costs, why a plow route runs the way it does, and how long "we'll look into it" really takes.
Now I'm retired, which gives me something most candidates can't offer: time. I'm not fitting this around a career. Ward 2 will be my full-time focus.
