Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office?

I am a 27 year resident and a long time community volunteer (Wyoming Solid Waste Commission Chairman, former WSMA board member, Recreation Coach) and a two term Wyoming City Councilman. I have served the city as a member of the Finance, Zoning, Buildings and Equipment and Economic Development Committees. I am also a corporate executive (Procter and Gamble R&D Director). I have the energy, the experience and the people and business skills to effectively serve the residents of Wyoming.

2. What services do you believe should be considered basic and essential for the City?

My primary goal is to preserve the excellent quality of life in Wyoming. It's been very challenging to deliver the high level of services given the recent drop in city revenues. I will continue to partner with the City Administration to deliver excellent services without increasing costs. I will also help to ensure the city is well positioned for improved economic development as the local economy begins to recover.

3. How would you balance the City Budget?

The city has a balanced budget. The finance committee (of which I am a member along with Lynn Crider and Barry Porter) has partnered with the city administration to make the fiscal choices to keep service high while reducing costs.
