Education
Th.D
Qualifications for Office
As a qualified servant-leader with a clear understanding of my community, I serve in various roles, including my appointment to the Reynoldsburg Planning and Zoning Board and as a Sworn-in Chaplain for the Reynoldsburg Police Department, as well as an entrepreneurial role. I have a strong understanding of our community. I look forward to bringing my skills, as they are essential for its success.
One of the biggest challenges is that many families are unaware of the responsibilities of a township trustee. For the uninformed Truro Township community, I would suggest educating them through social media, the township website, and monthly township meetings about the specific services a township provides, including managing public services such as fire protection, road maintenance, cemeteries, roads, and water drainage.
Truro Township is not a wealthy community. During my term, I plan to focus on monitoring the expenses of our voted levies that fund local services. We have a fiscal responsibility to be transparent with our community. I will prioritize goals to avoid taking on unnecessary risks by generating steady revenue through park activities or rental fees for facilities. This revenue would help fund improvements in the community.
I would collaborate with the City Government to share resources, coordinate transportation plans, and engage with the Truro township community to discuss infrastructure and housing strategies.
To engage residents and community stakeholders, I would plan opportunities on day one for residents to form a community involvement group. Invite people to a space where they can share their concerns and make sure their input is valued and respected.
To build community trust among stakeholder groups, I listen to understand the issue, gather facts, investigate the problem as described, and explore potential compromises both parties can agree on. Once the solution is agreed upon, the trustees can implement it.
