Biographical Information

Please describe your qualifications and experience and explain why you are running for Trustee.

Are there pressing issue(s) facing your community that you want to discuss? If so, how do suggest addressing the issue(s)?

I have served Penn Township as a Trustee for 34 years. I've served on at least three other boards representing our township. I have both an Associates degree and a Batchelor degree in Business Administration. I have many years of experience in both zoning and planning at the township level. Experience over 34 years of service is impossible to replace with someone who has never served. My family has resided in Penn Township for over 170 years and I want to do my part to help ensure our township remains a safe, and beautiful place to live, raise a family, and retire. Maintaining our agricultural and lake life identity in Penn Township is very important to me. Our fire department has grown and thrived with board support.
I desire to position our township (before I retire) with a paid off new fire department building, many newly paved roads, a beautifully renovated Township Hall, and sporting facilities that we've never been in the position to afford. When lean times come, I want our community to not be stressed by the burden of large debts requiring huge increases in taxes. Although I think the years of growing will be very limited, I believe the huge influx of funding through non traditional crops will help position us to be on a good financial footing for some years to come.
