How else are you involved in the community? (left blank)

Why should people vote for you? I will represent all residents of Fendale, ie not just a small group or special interest. Being an incorporated business owner for 25 years I understand the needs and problems facing small business owners of this city.

Why have you choosen to run for this office? Next step at this age in my life. Stay at home father to a child with a syndrome. Have time to work full time for the city. Personally I would like to see the State Fair Grounds reopen year round as an expo market or fair.

Is there any issue or vote that you disagree with that Council has made? Why? What would you do differently? Happy with the work and job that council performs. Looking forward to working with them.

What key qualifications do you bring to the job: Qualifications for the job are listed. Are to be 25 years old and live in Ferndale for 5 years. A. I’ve worked across the lower state with homeowners as a trouble shooter for years. People tell me their problems. We work together to find a solution. Then fix the problem.   B. I’ve worked with estimates and budgets for years. I have a high degree of understanding project costs, material costs, labor costs and profits.   C. Would look at the city as a business in its working and as residents as customers.
