Questions & Answers

1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)

My career is involved with the planning and executing of government contracts. I was responsible for the budgeting, business planning, and personnel of a $45 million per year business operation. These activities have prepared me for helping lead this city to a planned and controlled growth environment.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

Loveland is a safe and quiet neighborhood. Growth in our city must assure that our safety officials have adequate staff and facilities. Our police and firefighters must have a voice in our growth plans and not be spread thin to accommodate expansion.

Loveland has a great atmosphere. The bike trail is known as the "Loveland Bike Trail". Our "Loveland Stamp" has widespread recognition. We must make sure any growth keeps that same atmosphere and environment intact.

Loveland has grown due to opportunities that just happen, not real planning. We need to identify the types of business that reflect our atmosphere, build the infrastructure to support those businesses, and help attract the type of business that fits our model, our community and stay committed to that plan.
