Reason for seeking position:

Sitting on the county commission, I'm able to pull together everything I've learned during my career; I have a proven history of holding executive level leadership positions that have directly benefited our community since 1988.

It's critical to look at county priorities through a business lens, and I'll continue to bring my business experience to the job. At the same time, I'm drawing on everything I've learned from several decades of nonprofit work, and from many years of volunteering in the community service arena.

It's very gratifying to cap my career in this position with a focus of continuing to give back and serve our community.
