Why did you decide to run?
I have lived in Roscoe since 2006. I have always had a passion for government and politics. Now that my kids are older I wanted to get involved and bring my skill set to our community.
Tell us about your background and accomplishments that you bring to the table.
I was a carpenter & foreman with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters from 1999-2009. I ran large crews on multi-million dollar projects. In 2009 I started a local remodeling company and that is when I got involved in the Roscoe Chamber of Commerce. After Roscoe & Rockton [Chambers] merged forming the Stateline Chamber of Commerce, I served as a Director on their board, then Vice President in 2018 & 2019 and then served as President in 2020 & 2021. I also served as a Director for Heartland Realtor Organization from 2021 to present and am the Secretary/Treasurer for 2025. I have run a successful Real Estate business for the last 8 years. When I was in the Union I was a trustee for my local from 2003-2009.
What do you hope to accomplish in this office in the future?
I hope to bring my decades of experience in construction and real estate to the village to help grow our village in a responsible manner attracting more businesses, develop more housing opportunities and continue to help our community be a place people love to visit and live in.
Why should people vote for you?
I would love to earn everyone’s vote. I am community minded and come from a place of service in all I do. I want to bring new ideas to the table. And I promise that if any resident has a concern, I will always be available to discuss it.
