BACKGROUND: 

I am a semi-retired university instructor who facilitates human and environmental science courses. I have lived in Brown County since 1983, working for Wisconsin Public Service at the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant as an educator. I have two sons; one works in De Pere and the other is raising his family in Chicago. I am a board member of the Civic Symphony of Green Bay and have been president of the Northeast Wisconsin chapter of American Society of Training and Development as well as Vice President of Scholarship Inc. I have also served as treasurer for various volunteer organizations and church groups.

WHY I'M RUNNING: 

De Pere is blessed with hard working people, thriving industry, abundant water, and premier educational institutions. These factors have worked together to bring a sustainable economy that is family friendly. My priority is the southern bridge that will cross the Fox River linking the west and east sections of Brown County. This bridge and infrastructure will increase land development for new homes and industry in De Pere; best of all it will decrease traffic in De Pere.  I will work to make sure that De Pere receives its fair share of road improvements, repairs and construction and assist in the development of the new cultural arts district.  I will bring my skills, business acumen, and knowledge to help the De Pere community.
