A Problem Solver Wishing To Build the Future

Who I Am

I was born in Dubuque, Iowa some 40-odd years ago. But my life was not meant to be a typical Midwestern upbringing. By the age of 2 I was whisked away to the coast, and raised as a Navy brat, moving from place to place every few years throughout my childhood. These travels instilled two things in me – an experience of and appreciation for people from all walks of life, and a desire to find a place that I could truly call “home”.

After moving back to the Midwest for college and completing my studies, I found an appreciation for the homeyness of the Midwest, the solid traditional values of family and community that I didn’t see as much during my upbringing on the coast. I decided to stay in the Midwest and build a life here. I found and married the love of my life Rebecca, and was happily gifted with my twins Abigail and William.

Since then, I’ve seen more and more that I’d like to help direct the future of my children, and the future of our village, so that I can ensure a happy and prosperous future for both my family and yours.
