BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE?

My biggest success in life is being married to my amazing wife for over 17 years, and being a dad to my son Ishaan. Everything else is a distant second.

BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE?

When covering major world events as a journalist you get bogged down in the minutiae of events, and for-get to pause and take it all in.

WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA

For two decades, I have covered a wide range of issues throughout BC, and Asia. I hope to bring a local and global perspective in tackling some of our challenges.

FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE?

Favourite book: Maximum City. It’s a book about modern day Mumbai, and its incredible complexity and contradictions. A must read to better understand global megacities.
