Experience

My Work

I’ve been serving on the board of commissioners for 16 years and have garnered the support of a wide variety of Tecumseh and Lenawee County residents, officials, and business owners. I’ve proven that by working with other commissioners we can make local government more efficient and effective as well as provide better outcomes to our constituents.

I am widely respected for helping to accomplish many improvements without raising taxes. We’ve been able to move to full-time prosecutors and public defenders which has taken the burden off of the City of Tecumseh so they can put more money into infrastructure and other important services.

I have owned a business for 16 years in downtown Tecumseh and have developed commercial property in Tecumseh, as well as supporting our local school district. Tecumseh is where I have chosen to build a family, a business, and a life.
