 Experience

For my entire career at Flushing High School I have worked and served as an advocate and leader of people within our community. I am an experienced manager and have worked with large budgets in difficult economic times. I have an established relationship with many township residents and  community leaders.  I would like to continue my community service by using my vast experiences to assist our township board team in keeping Flushing Township the wonderful place it is to live, raise a family, and retire.

 Why Vote For Me?

I hope people will vote for me because they know I am honest, trustworthy, hard working, and will dedicate myself to representing their wishes and needs on the board.  I think people also know I have a great passion and love for this community and will work hard to protect and preserve it in all situations.
