Why I Am Running
I’ve lived in Flathead Valley for over 20 years. I own a home in Whitefish and property in Kalispell. I have been an educator, a scientist and a businessman. .As an educator, I learned how to inform and inspire, to communicate and collaborate. As a scientist, I learned to objectively gather information in order to reach unbiased, logical, fact-based conclusions. As a businessman, I learned that problems are really opportunities for innovation and success. I would love to bring my diverse knowledge, experience and creativity to bear upon the many challenges that affect the lives of all our citizens, regardless of their political persuasions. It is time that we work together and use some commonsense governance
to improve the quality of life here in the Valley.
