Highwood Nomination Contestant

About Peter

Knowledge. Service. Integrity.

Why my IT career prepared me to be your MLA

For more than 20 years, I have helped families and businesses solve problems through Okotoks Computers. That experience has taught me something important: people don’t want excuses. They want someone who listens, understands the problem and gets it fixed.

In IT, blaming someone doesn’t solve anything. You have to find out what went wrong, understand why it happened, look at the options and find a practical solution that works — without wasting your client’s money.

I believe government should work the same way.

My company has always been built around three simple principles: Knowledge, Service and Integrity. They aren’t just words on a website. They are how I have built my reputation and earned a 4.9 out of 5 Google rating from the people and businesses I serve.

Knowledge means doing your homework, asking the right questions and making decisions based on facts — not ideology or political convenience.

Service means remembering who you work for. As your MLA, my job will be to represent the people of Highwood — whether you voted for me or not.

Integrity means telling you the truth, even when it isn’t the easiest answer. It means being responsible with public money, admitting when something isn’t working and earning your trust through actions, not promises.

After decades of solving problems for people in our community, I want to bring that same approach to the Alberta Legislature.

That’s how I have run my business, That’s how I will serve you as your MLA.

Listen. Understand the problem. Find a practical solution. Get it done.
