 Candidate Profile

I joined the CaraCo Group of Companies in my current role in 2017 following a 25-year career in land development and home building in the Greater Toronto Area. As a graduate of the University of Toronto and a Chartered Accountant (CPA), I bring a wealth of industry knowledge, financial acumen, and a hands-on management style that is invaluable to the long-term growth and success of the company. In my role as Chief Executive Officer of CaraCo, I oversee a fully-integrated property management, land development and construction operation of approximately 115 employees in Kingston and Deerfield Beach and Coral Springs, Florida. Additionally, our first restaurant: HEIST Restaurant + Wine Club at 168 Wellington Street, opens to the public this December.

With respect to the Tannery, Conference and North Blocks projects, given that we are in the development industry, we are typically pro-development and supportive of various developments in the downtown core. However, it is not appropriate for me to comment on specific developments that involve other developers.

I would like to see a vibrant, healthy, business community that is supported by new residential activity. It is important to respect the heritage characteristics of our beautiful downtown while also addressing the needs of the community including supporting local businesses and the supply of housing particularly in the downtown core. I am a strong supporter of the enhancement of our community spaces as an integral part of the fabric of our city and downtown.
