Like most of you, I am an average citizen. I was raised on a farm and I've lived in LaPorte and LaPorte County all of my life. I am married and raised a family here.
I attended Purdue North Central with a major in political science and psychology and a minor in history.
Prior to retirement, I worked in business, most recently as an account executive for a mortgage company and in the claims department of a national insurance company.
After retirement, I returned to work in banking customer service, and currently, durable medical equipment.
In my life, I have worked in factories, gas stations, restaurants, and even dug ditches. I've succeeded, made mistakes, failed and seen life from many different perspectives.
I can represent all, not just some, of the residents of District 20.
