What is the primary reason you are running for this office? Deep belief in the American form of government where people must become involved for it to survive.
What will be your single most important priority if you get elected? Lower taxes and reducing Township Reserve.
What are the top three issues facing Wheeling Township residents? Jobs, taxes and cost of living especially for those on a fixed income.
What sets you apart from the other candidate? I have worked on multi-million dollar programs to bring product to production on time and within budget. I have a proven ability to visualize unique solutions and work with others.
Anything else you would like to add? As a design engineer I have been in charge of multi-million dollar programs. Engineering is a pragmatic science balancing cost with the best possible design. To be successful one must be able to be a team leader bringing together varied interest, the customer, sales, manufacturing, vendors and at times company culture. With my strong experience in engineering and my various involvements in the community I am very well prepared to represent the taxpayers' interests as a Wheeling Township Trustee and I ask for your vote on April 9th.
