I’ve lived in Minooka for:
2 1/2 years

I ran for public office:
To give back to a community that my wife and I have become very fond of. To represent the citizens and insure that they have the quality of life in Minooka all of us desire and are entitled to.

The most important thing I do as a trustee is
representing the Citizens to the best of my ability- acting on their concerns and finding solutions that benefit the majority.

I would like to be remembered for
a Trustee that never lost sight of the promise I made to always put the citizens and community as a whole first and foremost in all my decisions.

The accomplishment I am most proud of is
raising 3 children to become solid citizens that respect their fellow man, their community, and their country,

The thing I like best about Minooka is
small town friendly environment

20 years from now America will be
still the best place in the world to live. Gain a greater respect from other Nations for all that we do.

A charity that I am passionate about is
The American Cancer Society

I wish I had more time to
travel and see more of the country

Books/magazines/movies/TV shows/CD’s I recommend are
CSI (TV show) Dr, Zhivago (Movie) The Summons by John Grisham (Novel)

Places in the world that I have always wanted to visit are
Australia and Scotland

I would like to thank the citizens of Minooka for allowing me the opportunity to serve them as their new Village Trustee. I am proud to represent you and will stand firm on my commitment to always put you first and foremost in all my board decisions. Minooka is a “Nice Place to Call Home” and I want to make sure we in the community always feel this way. Thank you again for the confidence you have placed with me.
