I have been a Resource Parent with Family Support Institute for 28 years. Married to Debbie for 37 years and have 4 children. Jacob – 33 , Kayleigh 31, Adam 30, Arie 28.

We have been living in “ Holland” since 1988 when Kayleigh was born and would not change a thing. Holland is a beautiful place.

Kayleigh has multiple challenges, Global Developmental delay, diagnosed with Autism at 18. Seizures, OCD, Behavioral challenges.

Son Arie was born with Lamellar Ichthyosis, a genetic skin disorder. Today Arie is carving out his own path in the world .

I Have been in the role as a Regional Network Coordinator since Fall of 2018. Thoroughly enjoying connecting, supporting, listening to families all through the East and West Kootenays.

“ You must be the change you wish to see” resonates with me everyday!

I look forward to connecting with folks in the Kootenays region and share all that Wayfinders has to offer !

Meaningful Employment for our daughter has been our path for many years and we have not steered away from that path.

I feel very well connected in the Kootenays to assist families with own journey.
