2Woolwich TownshipMeet Steven
A neighbour who works for our community.
I live in St. Jacobs with my wife and two young children. For the past 5 years I've been president of the Home & School association at St. Jacobs Public School, where we raised over $180,000 towards a new playground (details here).
I work as a technology leader and executive coach, having come to Waterloo Region to work at Shopify in 2016.
My career has focused on helping people navigate difficult conversations, clarify priorities, and move toward practical next steps.
How I’ll approach the work
Listen carefully. Decide thoughtfully. Report back clearly.
Municipal government works best when residents can see how decisions are made and know their concerns have been heard. I'm committed to constructive conversations, careful use of public resources, and the long-term wellbeing of Ward 2.
