He studied at the Shippagan, New Brunswick campus of the University of Moncton. A member of the Progressive Conservative Party since 1985, he first ran for office in the 1995 but was defeated. He served from then until the next election as a Francophone organizer for the PC Party and ran again in 1999 when he was successful becoming the member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick for Lamèque-Shippagan-Miscou. He was re-elected in 2003, 2006 and 2010.

In a cabinet shuffle in 2001 he became Minister of Tourism & Parks a post he maintained until after the 2003 election when he took over the post of transportation.
He left the cabinet in 2006 as the Liberals won that year's election and formed the government.
