A Lifetime of Service to Community and Country

I have spent my life serving others, first as a member of the U.S. Navy and later through decades of volunteer and elected service in Dalton. Whether serving as Planning Board Secretary, Trustee of Trust Funds, Library Trustee, School Board member, or Supervisor of the Checklist, I believe public service is about listening, showing up, and doing the work.Bringing Real-World Experience and Common-Sense Leadership

With more than 30 years of experience in accounting, healthcare, industry, and customer service, I understand the challenges families, businesses, and communities face. I believe in practical solutions, fiscal responsibility, transparency, and making decisions based on facts rather than politics.A Strong Voice for the North Country

The people of Coös County and Northern Grafton County deserve a representative who understands our communities and will advocate for our needs. I am committed to protecting our natural resources, supporting our schools, strengthening local communities, and ensuring that the voices of North Country residents are heard in Concord.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about strengthening our communities, supporting public education, ensuring fiscal responsibility, and protecting the North Country's natural resources and quality of life. My service on the SAU 36 School Board, as a Library Trustee, and as Supervisor of the Checklist has reinforced my belief that government works best when it listens to the people it serves. With my background in accounting and business, I believe taxpayer dollars must be managed wisely, transparently, and with accountability. I am committed to policies that support local families, businesses, and communities while preserving the character and opportunities that make the North Country a great place to live and work.
