| Personal Bio |
Born and raised on his family farm in former Adolphustown, Councillor Kaiser has always been able to call Greater Napanee home. He is the youngest of Eric and Mary's four children (Siblings: Ted, Kevin and Sara-Jane), but the only one who chose to make the farm his life. He has a wife, Jessica, and three teenage kids, Rob, Molly-Beth and Adeline.
Councillor Kaiser spent his high school years living with his mother in Kingston which gained him an urban perspective; however, he has always felt that the farm was his "home".
Living and "working" here for his whole life offers Councillor Kaiser a perspective rooted in our history, but with an eye to the future. The farm life is a full one; Councillor Kaiser's wife often says it is difficult to drag him away from the farm, even for vacations. However, he relishes the time spent and the satisfaction earned.
The Kaisers approach their farm activities with a broad view encompassing environment, business, neighbours, and, of course, agronomics and animal welfare. Councillor Kaiser wears many hats in any given day, and is honoured to have been given the opportunity to wear one more. |
