I'm passionate about promoting leadership in rural communities. As a sixth-generation Huron County resident I am proud to showcase our incredible local talent and share their big ideas in Bayfield.

Look at the people around you and consider the incredible depth of experience, skills and ability they bring to your community. Experts don't have to come from far away. Small communities need, now more than ever, to appreciate and embrace the collaborative efforts of the people who contribute their time and talent to making small towns a great place to live. TEDxBayfield is about acknowledging the high quality of people who are connected to our community. Let's look at ourselves as a resource for big ideas and start a conversation with our neighbour to help them spread.

My TEDxBayfield journey began with simple curiosity. I wanted to learm more about the people in my community. The tendancy in small towns is to call in a key note speaker from far away, yet there are many right here in our own community. We have only scratched the surface with this event, Bayfield and Huron County has an abundance of brilliant minds and capable people who have fantastic big ideas to share. My hope is that TEDxBayfield is successful and we will get a chance to this all again.

Collaboration and promotion are two of my favourite activities. I have limitless energy and I tackle big projects - preferably those that allow me express my creativity.
