My name is Kurtis McCartney, currently a self-published jack-of-all-trades. My interests are as diverse as the experiences available in the Niagara Region, and I'm typically open to trying something new.

Most of my older personal academic and work profile is available HERE with a couple of exceptions. More detailed descriptions can be seen in the posts scattered around this website.

I believe in innovation and effort and the ability to make life more enjoyable. This includes an interest in making justice, education, and the opportunity to live in freedom available to everyone. With all hope it could mean popular support for protecting natural spaces and living at peace with your neighbours.

In 2010 I stepped into the world of Municipal Politics. With my experience making Brock University a better place for students and a financially sound one for future Brock students I think I can bring the same if not better results to my home town. Welland is frequently dismissed by those that do not remember or know its strengths - infrastructure and innovation. Great businesses start here, it has the ability to be the most affordable place on the planet to power your dreams - not for lack of demand but with a richness in resources.

Currently I can be found: Cycling, Operating/Supporting HAM Radio, Supporting Public Transit, Listening to PBS on AM 970, Contributing to Wikipedia, Rocking a +99.5% VRMS Compliant Linux System, Riding my E-Bike, Growing Food, and trying to be very nice to my family.
