I have lived in Hanover since 1982 and with my wife, Julie, have a son Connor.  I have another son, Cameron, and two grandchildren, Gavin and Leah, who live in Colorado.  I have been a teacher, banker, financial advisor, and Executive Director of a non- profit dealing with suicide and substance misuse. If I can make it to the end of the year I will have run every day for 10 years.

The role of the Executive Council is to vote on all contracts over $10,000 and appointments made by the Governor for boards, commissions, and senior positions in State agencies.  We vote on judicial appointments filling District, Superior, and Supreme Court vacancies.  We also develop the 10-year highway plan.

Probably the most important job day-to-day is constituent service.  I think it has never been more important than when COVID-19 started.  I will give you one example: the week before the pandemic, 500 people applied for unemployment and the following four weeks, 119,000 or 30,000 per week.  When an individual was having a problem after weeks of not getting a check, they would turn to me.  Nothing has been more rewarding than solving the problem and them receiving a check.

My promise to you as a voter: I will continue to work diligently each and every day to represent the 275,000 residents of District 1.  Constituent service is my number one priority.
