I am proud to serve the city of Berea.
I'm a forty year resident of our great community. For most of those years, I have been fortunate enough to work in service to my community and its members.
I served on Berea City Council for six years. During that time, I worked towards improvements in infrastructure through the Public Works committee and in quality of life as chair of the Parks and Recreation committee.
I have promoted our city in Frankfort during legislative days, supported the expansion of shared use paths and other city community improvements. I support our city government and its departments when its efforts serve our community well and I am unafraid to speak out when they do not.
There is much progress yet to be made. I am confident that there is much left to be accomplished. I plan to be there to help drive us forward.
Dedicated leadership & public service for Berea.
As a council member, I have:
· Worked to add new parks, trails & shared-use paths while improving roads & public spaces.
· Pushed for improvements in new and existing ordinances to better serve our community, local industry, and non-profits.
· Advocated for Bereans at the local, county and state levels.
· Supported fair wages and hazardous duty pay to improve retention of quality staff.
As a citizen, I have
· Worked on multiple expansions, renovations and projects for the public library.
· Advocated to make Berea an official Trail Town.
· Completed Leadership Madison County, Citizens Police Academy programs and numerous trainings.
