Personal profile
I've lived in the Lockport and Homer Glen area for 30 years. My wife, Jyl, and I call Lockport home. We have four children between us, and Lockport is where I raised my two sons.
I earned an Associate in General Studies from College of DuPage, where I completed two years of business coursework.
I spent nine years as a sales associate at AT&T. Today I work at The Standard Companies, a family-owned janitorial supply company in Chicago. I help businesses choose cleaning and facility supplies.
I completed sales training at AT&T and earned several certificates in business-related applications. Through my work at The Standard Companies, I also earned training certificates from manufacturers including 3M, Diversey, Rochester Midland, and Nyco Products. My training covered commercial cleaning procedures, including how to strip and finish floors.
Career awards and achievements
At AT&T, I ranked in the top 3% in sales in the Midwest for four years, and I held the record for the largest individual sale for 20 years.
At The Standard Companies, I received sales awards from several of our major suppliers.
Local leadership and community service
I currently serve as precinct committeeman for Homer Township Precinct 01, and I have worked with and supported candidates running in city, county, statewide, and national elections.
Before that, I worked with the Township Supervisor and Board to reduce the township's property tax levy by $100,000 in each of my four years as a trustee. During my four years as a Homer Township trustee, I missed only one board meeting.
Senior Task Force
As co-chair, I helped organize activities for seniors, including bingo, Bunco, yoga, gardening classes, and ornament making.
Homer Township Senior Lifestyle Expo
I created the expo, which drew 50 vendors and more than 600 attendees in its final year.
Festival for seniors and veterans
I worked with seniors and veterans to organize a festival program that featured a flyover and military vehicles.
The highlight of my work with seniors and veterans was meeting several World War II veterans. One was Sgt. Richard “Rich” Olund, a U.S. Army medical technician who landed on Utah Beach in Normandy on July 18, 1944, six weeks after D-Day.
I also had the honor of picking up Vietnam War veteran Sgt. Larry Kilmer at Midway Airport when he returned from his Honor Flight to Washington, D.C.

My commitment to Lockport
My conservative values guide how I serve. My goal is to listen to residents, show up for the work, and treat taxpayer dollars with care.
I will work closely with the mayor and my fellow City Council members to keep taxes in check, attract new businesses, and make sure our roads and infrastructure can support responsible growth.
I'll always be willing to think outside the box. That means listening to new ideas from residents and looking for practical ways to solve problems and make better use of taxpayer dollars.
