Four terms of results. Ready to deliver more.

Experience that counts
A record you can verify
Rooted in Ward 5

Sixteen years on Council. Deputy Mayor for Strategy and Budgets. A Fellow Chartered Management Accountant who knows how a city’s books actually work.

Multi-year budgets adopted, services protected, infrastructure renewed, growth shaped, seniors and housing championed. Not promises, receipts.

From Appleby Line to Burloak, Lakeshore to Dundas, Paul knows the streets, the schools, the shoreline and the issues at every door.

“The strongest financial mind on Council. Ward 5 is fortunate to have him.”

The voice of experience.

Hi, I’m Paul.

Husband, father, neighbour, and your Ward 5 Councillor since 2010.

Burlington is where my family put down roots and where I have spent my working life giving back. I am Ward 5’s City and Regional Councillor and currently serve as Deputy Mayor for Strategy and Budgets and as President of Halton Community Housing Corporation.

Before politics, I had a long career as a finance executive, restructuring companies, teaching strategy and process improvement internationally, and serving as President & CEO of the Institute of Management Accountants in the United States. I am a Fellow Chartered Management Accountant and a Chartered Global Management Accountant.

In 2010, then-Mayor Cam Jackson asked me to run. I said yes because Burlington deserved someone at the Council table who could read a balance sheet and stand up to projects that didn’t pencil. Five terms later, I’m still doing that, and I’m not done.
