My wife, Nancy, and I have lived in Franklin for 30 years. We have two children, three granddaughters, and a dog. During these years, we have watched our City transition from a rural community to a mix of green space, rural, residential, recreational, and commercial development. I wanted to give back to our community and to help be a part of the City’s future. That is when I volunteered to be an Election Poll Worker and then volunteered to serve on the Personnel Committee. After that, I volunteered to serve on the Civil Service Sub-Committee. Six years ago, I was elected as Franklin’s 5th District Alderman. This has given me the opportunity to participate in helping create what our City is now and what it is becoming. The experience of working with City staff and learning how all the pieces of city government work together has helped me to understand and resolve constituent concerns and issues within our District. My reward for serving as an Alderman is listening to my constituents, getting answers to questions, learning about, researching, and finding solutions to constituent concerns, working with City staff and being a part of what the City of Franklin is becoming.
