As a lifelong resident of Evansville, I understand the needs and concerns of our community. My 45 years as a public servant have given me the experience and expertise required to lead effectively. Throughout my career, I've served as a Vanderburgh County Deputy Sheriff, and spent 31 years as a proud firefighter. I currently serve in the Security Department of the Evansville-Vanderburgh Building Authority.

Improving Vanderburgh County has always been a focus of mine. I have supported multiple quality of place initiatives such as the extension of Lynch Road, University Parkway, the African-American Museum, the Discovery Lodge at Burdette Park, the Ford Center, and the Soccer and Softball Complex, to name a few. 

I have also worked with city and county officials to provide tax abatements to businesses such as Azteca Milling Co., Graham Packaging, Ameriqual Foods, and Shoe Carnival. These tax abatements make Evansville a desirable place for businesses and create jobs for the citizens of our great city and surrounding county.

Improving a city or county through tax relief and improving quality of place cannot be done without a balanced budget. I spent 20 years as a County Councilman, with three of those years as president, so I am very familiar with the details of budgeting and how to spend your tax dollars.

I look forward to listening to the voices in Vanderburgh County and I will work to the best of my ability to represent them fully. I am eager to return to work for you as your County Councilman at Large.
