Fun Fact
A former Marine that enjoys family activities and tinkering on classic vehicles, especially Dodge Power Wagons.
Past Experience
My wife, children, grandchildren, and I are all fortunate to call Idaho Falls home. I am a Marine Corp Veteran and career professional with 30+ years of experience. Currently working for Idaho Environmental Coalition in Waste Management supporting INL missions (15 years). I have a B.S. in Radiation Health Physics from Oregon State University. As my career grew, I had the opportunity to live in a variety of locations throughout the United States. Previously employed with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (12 years), Savanah River Site (1 year), and at the Nevada Test Site (5 years) all supporting DOE.
In 2010 we jumped at the chance to accept jobs and move our growing family to Idaho Falls. Immediately upon our arrival and for many years now, our family has enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and small town feel that is Idaho Falls.
I am not a politician and have no previous experience holding public office.
My Top Issues
Promoting and preserving traditional family values
Residents, especially families, and business owners have always been the backbone of our community and are not receiving adequate consideration or priority in City Hall decisions. Supporting their needs should be given the highest priority in all city decisions and activities.
Community involvement in decision-making
We will create direct open lines of communication between the citizens and Idaho Falls City Hall.
As members of City Council, our decisions will be made focusing on what is best for the current citizens and businesses of Idaho Falls.
Balance development with neighborhood preservation
City development should be in-line with residents wishes, focusing on single-family residences, particularly affordable starter homes, while providing a range of housing options. Infrastructure must be created prior to development and overdevelopment should be avoided.
