I have served with the Canadian Armed Forces for over 25 years as a Cadet Instructor Cadre Officer. In the past two years, I have taken on the role as the Public Affairs Officer at the Regional Cadet Support Unit (Pacific). I am very passionate about volunteering and supporting our uniformed personnel that help keep our communities safe every day. It has been an honour to act as the Director for the Wounded Warrior Run BC since 2018 and I am always eager to help as many people as possible.

I am incredibly excited and honoured to be participating in the Wounded Warrior Run BC for the third time. I recently retired from the Canadian Armed Forces after serving 7 years as a Dental Officer. I also grew up in a military family, as my dad served 42 years in the Royal Canadian Navy. I have witnessed the impact PTSD and operational stress injuries have on military members, veterans, first responders, and their families. I’m honoured to run for my friends and loved ones who suffer in silence.

Kevin is the father of three awesome children, and married to his life partner, an elementary school teacher in Victoria, BC. The son of a late Toronto Police officer, Kevin has been a member of the Canadian Armed Forces for over 26 years. When not at sea, he takes pride in volunteering his personal time to give back to the communities who have supported his family and fellow service personnel for so many years.

I have been a Victoria Police member since 2001, currently serving as the Deputy Chief, and have 30 years of service overall. I have experience working on seconded police units including major crime, auto theft, records management project, and the Regional Domestic Violence Unit; I am a firm believer in collaboration, inter-agency cooperation, and wellbeing.

I am committed to working with community and police partners and has been an active member of numerous local Boards and Committees including the Boys and Girls Club of South Vancouver Island, Police Based Victim Services of BC, and the VicPD Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee.

I am in my 36th year of policing communities in Canada, the last 19 with The Central Saanich Police Service. I have seen first-hand the effects of working as a first responder can have on members and am excited and honoured to have been selected for the 2025 Wounded Warriors Run BC team.

In the past five years, I have done several self-supported 80 to 100KM+ runs in support of local charities and was captain of the 2022 Tour de Rock team. I am a strong believer in the healing power of exercise for physical and mental health and will bring my positive energy to the 2025 campaign.

Serving with the RCMP for 23 years, currently attached to the Comox Valley’s Bike Unit, I have worked in Ontario, Vancouver, and Surrey, BC as a drug investigator, in a Serious Crime Unit, and worked Surrey’s equivalent of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. From this experience, along with having a twin brother who is a firefighter, I have come to know the tolls, both mentally and physically, working as a first responder has on the individual and their loved ones. The Wounded Warrior Run for me, represents the marriage of a worthy cause coupled with a physical challenge which I am honoured to be a part of.
