I’m a long-time resident of the area.

My wife Sue and I have lived fulltime for over 33 years on our property on Ben Lake in Ryde, which I have owned since 1984. We raised our family here (our now adult children David and Sarah) and we enjoy our rural life on the lake.

I hold a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree from the University of Toronto, with a Biology Specialist and a minor in Computer Science. Following University, I had a career with the Ontario Government, serving in a number of Provincial Ministries. For the past 25+ years I’ve operated Ryde Systems, a computer sales and support company. My business keeps me in daily contact with small business owners and their staff throughout Muskoka.
