"Tim is an experienced school trustee, community leader, and dedicated advocate for Ward 2 who believes every student deserves access to high-quality public education.

As a trustee, Tim understands that effective governance is about more than overseeing budgets and policies. It means listening to parents, students, educators, and community members, working collaboratively to address challenges, and making thoughtful decisions that strengthen public education. He is committed to ensuring local schools offer programs and services that meet the evolving needs of the communities they serve.

A lifelong volunteer, Tim has deep roots in Ward 2. In addition to serving as a school trustee, he has coached youth sports, volunteered extensively in the community, and served as President of the Fort Garry Community Centre. His commitment to public service has been recognized with the City of Winnipeg's Outstanding Citizen's Award for Leadership in the Community and the President's Award for Outstanding Leadership in the Fort Garry community.

Tim and his wife, Lisa, have raised four children who attended schools throughout the Pembina Trails School Division. Their family's experiences have given him valuable firsthand insight into the perspectives of students, parents, teachers, and school administrators, helping shape his practical, balanced, and collaborative approach to educational leadership.

A graduate of the University of Manitoba's Faculty of Management (Honours), Tim recently retired after a successful career with Manitoba Hydro. His professional background includes financial management, human resources, strategic planning, and organizational leadership—experience that helps him provide responsible oversight of the division's finances and long-term planning.

Throughout his service on the Pembina Trails Board of Trustees, Tim has served four years as Board Chair, as Vice-Chair, and as Chair of every Board Standing Committee. These leadership roles have provided extensive experience in governance, policy development, financial stewardship, and building consensus to achieve positive outcomes for students and schools.

Tim is committed to strengthening public education so every student has the knowledge, skills, and opportunities to reach their full potential. He believes an excellent education prepares young people not only for post-secondary education and meaningful careers, but also to become engaged, responsible citizens who contribute to a strong and vibrant community."
