Don is currently the Reeve of the RM of Saltcoats No. 213.
Don and his wife, Joan, married in 1970 and have raised a son and a daughter. He and his family live on the same farm his grandparents homesteaded in 1887. Having attended country school for grades one through eight and completing high school in Bredenbury and Saltcoats, Don began farming full time in 1964. By 1968, he had established a partnership with his father. This partnership expanded in 1980, when his brother joined and again in 1993, when his son joined.
His involvement in local government began in 1980, when he was elected Councillor for the RM. He was named Sub-Unit Representative for SARM in 1986; a position he held until the structure was disbanded in 1994. At that time Don successfully ran for the position of Director of Division 1. His main responsibilities on the Board revolve around environmental issues.
Don has remained active in his community. He has been Treasurer of the Church of Nazarene since 1982, the Curling Club since 1986, the Churchbridge Wildlife Federation since 1989, and of the Pool's Yorkton livestock committee since the same time. Don has been a Director of the Bredenbury UGG elevator since 1968, of Lakeside Manor Care Home since 1989, as well as Yorkton and District Home Care since the same year. Don continues to be a leader in the community by serving as Chairman of the local school board since 1985.
