The Platform
Serving The Community
My wife Angel and I have lived in Crystal Lake for the past 22 years. We raised four children here and our oldest daughter lives here and teaches in the local schools. We have seven grandchildren. I own a distribution company located in Elgin, Il.
I always had an interest in politics and have contemplated running for office for several years. However, I was worried if I could devote the necessary time to an office without negatively impacting my family, work, or other commitments. As my children have grown and moved out and my business has grown, I found that I have the time necessary to give back to the community. In March of 2021 I was selected by a bi-partisan committee of the County Board, after an interview process, to fill the open seat of Ms. Suzanne Ness. I spent my first few months listening and learning about the board, issues facing the board and the needs of the community. I was able to use that knowledge to develop my goals for my work on the board and how to best go about bringing my goals to fruition.
My committee assignments, Transportation and Administrative Services, fit my background and experiences well. Both also fit as to my goals:
- Completion of the north end of the Randall Road project
- Increased bike and pedestrian paths
- Improved public transportation options
- Cost-effective employee healthcare for all employees, including part time
- Hiring of qualified personal
- Improving transparency and communication to the citizens of the County
With my background and experience on the county board I believe I am the best candidate to represent the citizens of McHenry County District 2 on the Board. I look forward to doing so in the years to come.
United By A Common Goal
As a Democrat I believe in working hard to build a better America, Illinois and McHenry County. I believe in the Democrat's dream that the economy should work for everyone, health care is a right and should be available to all, that diversity in race, religion, and sexual orientation is a strength not a weakness, and our democracy is worth defending.
I am running to ensure that the principals above are represented in McHenry County. Help me to make them a reality.

I can't win this race without your help. Campaigning, emailing, telephone calls, word-of-mouth, and donating are all ways of helping us achieve our goals together.
