My wife and I have been residents of Highland for 24 years, and we have raised our 4 children in this great city. In my lifetime I have founded and managed approximately a dozen companies, ranging from manufacturing to commercial real estate. I have led every one of these businesses to financial success. I have learned how a careful, fiscally conservative budget can be balanced with a well-informed, visionary approach, leading to a successful and sustainable future. I desire to bring this experience and insight to address the debt Highland City has accumulated along with other concerns facing our city.

 

Our city is a special, family-focused community because of its residents and the values they share. I want to keep the family values which have led this city to prosperity. These values can only be maintained if we have a City Council that is dedicated to being careful, empathetic listeners of its residents.  I believe I have done this while serving as a member of the Highland City Planning Commission, where I have defended our long term and short-term interests. I am dedicated to keeping Highland City’s large-lot feel, and promise to listen, learn, gather information and act carefully.
