He has also consulted for local government and sat on the town council in Gibsons, British Columbia from 2014 to 2018.

He previously ran in the same district in the 2020 British Columbia general election, and was briefly reported as the winner of the seat that year,[4] but after the advance ballots were counted he was found to have narrowly lost to Jordan Sturdy of the British Columbia Liberal Party.[5]
