Occupation

Invest in economic development where it is needed to benefit the majority of taxpayers. Keeping a watchful eye on budget deficits and spending. Find creative ways to reduce the debt to the county.
I am a middle class blue collar worker. I am fortunate to own my own small business. I have worked in aviation, manufacturing,maintenance and repair and construction including road construction and building construction in Residential,Commercial and Industrial sectors. I strongly believe in upgrading our outdated infrastructure where it is most needed.
Fiscal conservancy is my top priority. Getting the budget balanced and sustainable. Find creative ways to fund development projects without raising taxes or fees on the taxpayers of Howard County. I also believe in land and water conservation and cleaning of the creeks in the county. Much like the trails I would like to develop our creek system for kayaking and canoeing and fishing for everyone. We need more county parks and recreation areas.
