Term ending in 2011

Originally from Mt. Carroll, Freeport has been my home for the past 16 years. Although not born and raised here, I did marry someone who was. My wife Stephanie and I are both very involved in this fine community, doing so, in part, to be good examples to our three children Abby, Caroline, and John.

It has been a true honor and pleasure serving and representing the residents of the 6th Ward on the City Council since 2005. I have also volunteered as a March of Dimes Neighborhood Coordinator for the past 7 years, assisted low-income residents as a trained budget counselor, worked with the American Red Cross Heroes Campaign, and continue to serve as a lector at St. Joseph Catholic Church. Previous board positions I’ve held include Vice-Chairman of the Housing Authority Board of Commissioners and member of the Airport Commission.

I am eager and willing to make our community a better place. I invite the residents of the 6th Ward, or any ward for that matter, to share your concerns and opinions with me, and help me to raise your voices in City matters.
