My experience as a financial advisor for 25 years has given me a firm foundation in public service; I have held many leadership positions and was recognized by my peers for fostering a culture of service and giving back.

I enjoy taking an active role in our community – I was a ten-year member and past president of the West St. Paul-Mendota Heights Rotary Club, I’m a member of the River Heights Chamber of Commerce, a past member of the YMCA Advisory Board, served as a Guardian Ad Litem in Dakota County, currently serve on the Dakota 911 Board and spent nine seasons coaching little league in the Inver Grove Heights Parks & Rec system. I am proud to be a 1982 graduate of Simley High School and a graduate with a BA from the University of Minnesota.

I advocate for responsive and transparent government, a sustainable plan for pavement management, parks and trails with convenient access for our residents, vibrant business centers balanced with diverse housing, and a long-term approach to fiscal responsibility.

My wife, Lisa, and I have raised 4 children in the IGH school system and raising 2 grandchildren. In my free time, I enjoy weekend road trips, researching family history, and attending live music events.
