Growing up on a dairy farm in Huron County, I am passionate about the Ontario agriculture and agri-food sector. I have a business and economics educational background and strive to apply sound economic analysis in my work to provide evidence-based decisions. My 25+ years experience at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness has provided me the opportunity to help leverage a competitive and productive environment for Ontario's agri-food sector while also supporting a high quality of life for residents in both urban and rural Ontario.
