Fun Fact

Past Experience
Achievements: I have great military discipline and used that to help me to win on all levels of life. I normally get unexpected results through my hard work and dedication .
Responsibilities: My leadership ability is astonishing. I lead by example and effectively.
Skills: My leadership shills speak for itself. I have produced great citizens over the last 29 years of being in the public sector due to my great listening skills and learning ways to help people reach all of their potential.
My Top Issues
Enhancing community policing
I want our police officers to know the troubled areas and get to know those citizens , community leaders and business owners in all of the communities that we serve.
New sports facilities and programs
This is an area that has lacked tremendously in our city. We must add new programs for our senior citizens, our youth and the young adults as well.
Community involvement in decision-making
We have to talk and get to know the people that are in our communities and find ways to get them involved with our city to ensure that we have the best that life has to offer in our city.
