Temagami Deserves Better.
I Am Ready To Fight For It.

I did not grow up here. Nobody handed me this place.

I came to Temagami for the first time with my two kids, a pop-up camper, and a canoe. We stopped at Busy Bee for lunch. I walked into a fishing store and a man named Bill pointed me toward the fish. I rented a houseboat one summer. A local named Brian taught me things about this land you only learn from someone who has lived here their whole life.

I kept coming back. Several times a year. Every year. Because Temagami got into me the way it gets into everyone who really pays attention to it.

I was born in Poland. Moved to Germany at nine. Moved to Canada at thirteen with nothing and built everything from scratch. Started as a programmer, worked my way to VP, managed teams and budgets in the tens of millions. Along the way I bought properties, learned to renovate with my own hands, and built a property management company.

My son Sebastian is a mechanic. My daughter Karolina just became a nurse and landed her first job at Woodstock Hospital. My partner Sylvia and I have been together five years. Her boys Damian and Demitry have grown up fishing and riding ATVs in Temagami. We are loud, we are busy, and we love this place.

When we saw 2 Poplar Crescent — a place that needed work but had bones worth saving — we did not hesitate. We bought it, fixed it up, and made it home. Because that is what we do.

That is why I am running for Mayor.
