Briefly describe yourself and your background.
I’m a serial entrepreneur that has founded and run several companies. Our family moved here four years ago drawn to what makes Marvin, Marvin. We could have moved anywhere but we liked the uniqueness of our village, my candidacy aims to keep it that way.

Describe your experience and accomplishments.
I most recently successfully fought to keep Union County from installing cell towers at each school closer than FCC recommended guidelines. Union county has since put that on hold and will be passing a resolution not allowing school grounds to be places where cell towers can be constructed. I have owned several title insurance companies, founded, developed and franchised business concepts and was a partner at a small private equity firm.

What would be your top priorities for your term in office?
Repealing the tax increase, getting back to responsible spending in government and a return to what makes Marvin different from the communities around us.

How do you plan to address those priorities?
NO to GO bonds and anything of that sort. We are not Meck, we are a tiny village with a plan, and zoning rules to maintain our village a certain way. The role of government isn’t to find the exceptions to the rule, it’s to follow the rules.

What is your long-term vision for the Village and how do you plan to make it a reality?
To maintain what Marvin is by bringing fiscal responsibility, civility, and proper stewardship back to local government.
