I’ve lived in Wheeling since: 2005.

For me the most important thing about being an elected official is: serving the community and being a good steward of the tax payers’ dollars.
My favorite Village event is Rock and Run the Runway.
My favorite place in Wheeling is: Heritage Park.
When I’m not working I like to: hang out with my family, bike around town, or hang out in the Ridgefield neighborhood.
I belong to the Northwest Suburban Bar Association.
In the next ten years, I see Wheeling changing in the following ways: I think Town Center is going to become the focal point of the village and will greatly accent our beautiful development at the Westin Hotel property.
Person who has influenced me most throughout my life: is my father.
The accomplishment I am most proud of is raising a wonderful loving family.
Before I was trustee I spent some time on the Plan Commission. Before that I was active Northwest Suburban Bar Association and was developing my professional career as a young attorney.
