Specifically regarding his decision to step down, the first-term councillor said, “This decision comes as I take the next step in my professional career, which requires my full attention. While this is a bittersweet departure, I came excited for the new opportunity ahead and grateful for the experiences and friendships I’ve gained.”
He thanked his fellow councillors, mayor Rhonda Hunter, and town staff for their “support and collaboration” during his council term.
