Kevin has taught and led in Christian Schools from British Columbia to Ontario for over 25 years, always keen on leadership, school improvement, coaching, and governance.

Participating in and leading strategic planning, Kevin has experienced firsthand the value that a good plan, well executed, can have in transforming schools and organizations.

The concept of ‘WITH’ describes Kevin’s leadership posture, drawing on restorative practices based on aboriginal justice/teachings, faith communities, criminal justice, and the alternative dispute resolution movement.
