About the Trustee

• Birthplace: Jefferson, Wisconsin
• Family: Wife Becky, 2 daughters Cathy (Chris) and Laura. 1 Grandchild, Taylor
• Occupation: Retired Dun and Bradstreet (A.C. Neilsen Company) Director of Accounting Services
• Education: Graduate of University of Wisconsin - Whitewater. BA in Accounting with emphasis in Tax Law
• I’ve lived in Wheeling: Since 1974
• Hobbies: Collecting scale model cars, crystal figurines, sports paraphernalia (especially any items associated with the Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Badgers), listening to Jazz Music and helping other people.
• I ran for Wheeling Village Trustee because I believe that the Village of Wheeling is a fantastic place to live and raise a Family and that I can help to ensure that is always the case for generations to come.
• For me the most important thing about being an elected official is to listen to the residents and to always be honest and upfront with everyone that I come in contact with, no hidden agendas, no preconceived notions.
• My favorite village event is the 4th of July celebrations.
• When I'm not working, I like to spend time at home with Family and Friends or volunteer to help others.
• I belong to the Knights of Columbus and I am a past Director and member of the National association of Accountants.
• In the next ten years I would love to see a movie theater and or a sports complex with batting cages, an ice rink and possibly a bowling alley be developed in our Village. Other than that, I hope our Village continues to be dominated by hard working, honest and friendly residents.
• The person who has influenced me most in my life is my Wife. She may not realize it, but before I make any major decisions, I discuss it with her to get her reaction.
• My favorite quotation is "Just Do It".
• Before I was a Trustee I was a member of St. Joseph the Worker School Board, the Wheeling Special Events Committee and the Wheeling Police Pension Board.
