Platform: A lifelong resident of Douglas County, it has always been my desire to give back to the community that raised me. An avid sportsman with a love for wildlife, I am grateful to those before me who preserved natural populations. As a result, it was my honor to serve with the local body that preserves these populations for future generations. With seats opening on the Minden Town Board, I have an opportunity, if elected, to further give back and help shape the future of my community.

I believe my professional experience has provided me with knowledge and tools to distinguish me for a position on the Minden Town Board. Working for Minden-based engineering and land surveying firms over 30 years, my responsibilities have included water rights, infrastructure design, floodplain regulations, land planning, and project management. Having spent each day since the age of two as a resident or employee in Minden, I benefit from a background and special perspective on the journey Minden has taken, which helps me to see where Minden might yet go. It has been my great fortune to grow up here. This town's future is my future, so I truly care about decisions that affect the Town of Minden. My intent is to carry on the fine legacy set by previous board members and to pursue the goals and objectives they have set forth.
