Chris married his wife at the age of 24. They met in Sherwood Park where Chris started his trade as a pipefitter while she worked at a local grocery store. They have since had two children whom they love dearly. Chris has worked as a pipefitter, a plumber, and a steelworker. He has spent long days on the job to support his family and put food on the table.  

In the last 4 years, Chris has become more active with the NDP. In the 2021 federal election, he helped Blake Desjarlais and Heather McPherson in their election campaigns. He was inspired by seeing two uniquely different and strong individuals step forward with a similar goal.  

This election, Chris feels it’s time to bring more workers to the table. With his years of experience working in the trades, he is living the same struggle as most Canadians. Living paycheque to paycheque is not sustainable. Surviving off of credit cards isn't livable.  

Chris wants to remind Canadians that the NDP is a party for workers, and of workers. He hopes he can make Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan proud by bringing their voices to Ottawa. 

"Thank you Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan! You have made this home for me and my family."
