William immigrated to Canada with his family at the age of seven, growing up with a clear memory of a time when homes were more affordable, neighbours looked out for one another, and families felt secure. Those early experiences shaped his belief that communities thrive when people care, and when opportunity is within reach: so families can build their lives with hope, stability and consistency.
Today, as a proud Surrey resident raising his family in Sullivan, William is ready to help restore that same sense of opportunity, trust and safety for generations to come. Graduated from Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor of Business, he combines proven business leadership with a commitment to community and public service.
As Sales and Brand Director of an international trading company, he connects Canadian products to global markets, while his entrepreneurial and investment experience gives him a broad understanding of the economic challenges families face today. Beyond his professional life, he serves actively in organizations like the Rotary Club of Surrey — where he was honoured as Rookie of the Year — and the Sunshine Lions Club, supporting scholarship and food programs along with many other charitable initiatives to benefit local residents and people in need.
Guided by integrity and compassion, William believes leadership is about listening and really hearing, action and results, not titles. He spent years building trust through everyday service — helping seniors, supporting small businesses, and volunteering at community and cultural events. He understands what it takes to balance family, work and community responsibilities while consistently showing up for others. For him, public service and his Imagine Surrey council candidacy is about responsibility: doing what’s right even when no one is watching.
William is running to make life better for families, with a focus on affordable living, safer streets and efficient, effective public transportation solutions. He is committed to providing more opportunities for youth while representing Surrey’s diversity through inclusive leadership and a heart for service.
William’s vision is simple: to create a city where kids like his daughter can grow up surrounded by kindness, opportunity, inclusion and hope. A city where everyone feels supported and no one is left behind.
