Biography

Born in Troy, Ohio, Mr. Canan has lived in Covington for 36 years. When asked about why he wanted to serve the Village he stated, “The village has given me so much over the years, many friends and wonderful relationships. From riding my bike as a kid through all of our back alley ways, to learning how to drive on our country roads. From sledding at the park, fishing in the Stillwater river, to being a student athlete through school and enjoying many various clubs, there have been many fond memories. I simply want to give back to the community that has provided me with such a great young life”.

Mr. Canan works for the Municipality of Tipp City as a Journeyman Lineman while also serving as Vice President for the local Union AFSME. He believe this gives him a very unique point of view, which will be valuable to the Village Council in making decisions about the future of the village.

Mr. Canan is a father of four, six if you include the dogs. Along with his wife Heather, they look forward to raising their family in this cozy and safe town that is growing with opportunity and promise. He enjoys spending quality time with his family and friends, rooting for the Chicago Bears, and playing in the worship band for Covington Christian Church.

“Simply put, I care for Covington”.
