I am a former superintendent of K-12 school district operations involving planning, applied research, communications, staffing, pupil accommodation reviews, program reviews, student transportation, and district strategic plans.

Like many people, I am concerned about the climate crisis and the pressures it is placing on communities. Climate adaptation planning is becoming an essential part of local and regional decision‑making.

Community schools have a special role to play

My recent work examines how Ontario’s education funding model limits system capacity in the climate era.

I write and think about this a lot.

I am a data focused optimist.

I like collaborating with people.

I advocate for The Adaptation Bridge across multiple contexts, including the purpose economy.
