Picture
​
​Kevin is a respected Canadian author whose passion for writing began at just 13 years old. Originally from Chesley, Ontario, he completed his education locally, earning an Ontario Secondary School Diploma in 1989. Over the years, he has lived in various regions across Canada—including Ontario, Nunavut, and Alberta—as well as spending several years in Ohio. Kevin has been actively involved in local government committees and has campaigned for political office, reflecting his long-standing commitment to civic engagement. He also serves as a program manager for multiple internet radio stations and develops website content as a personal interest. Now living in Alberta and navigating later life with a disability, Kevin continues to write and create and enjoy photography pursuits, drawing inspiration from a journey shaped by personal experience, public service, and creative resilience.

Would you describe your values as more liberal, conservative, or a mix of both?

I believe in freedom, fairness, and common sense. Government should focus on the basics—running efficiently, being transparent, and staying out of people’s lives as much as possible. I believe in personal responsibility, helping others when we can, and giving everyone a fair chance to succeed. I support practical solutions over politics, innovation over red tape, and protecting our community and environment through balance and accountability. I think people know what’s best for their own lives, and government should make that easier—not harder.

People have called me a "small-c conservative", "slightly right of center", "populist", "libertarian", and "moderate"—but none of that has anything to do with non-partisan municipal government. I’ve said since 2020, after running for a Federal Party, that political parties in Canada—federal, provincial, and certainly municipal—should be abolished. Elected representatives should serve the people who put them there, not a party or its agenda.
