Why are you seeking office?: With four Trustee positions being vacated and with the encouragement of several friends, neighbors and colleagues, I felt a need to become involved again in our village government, I believe our village is an excellent community with even more potential. I am looking forward to addressing the issues we are facing and helping establish the direction we should be pursuing that represents the views of our residents and protects the immediate, mid and long range stability of the village.

What sets you apart from the other candidates (if applicable)?: I believe my longevity in the village (nearly 35 years) and the many friends and relationships my family and I have established, my 16 years experience as a LaGrange Park Park District Commissioner, six years of involvement in the LaGrange Park Little League, and my diverse professional background suit me well for becoming a contibuting member of our villages Board of Trustees. I am also looking forward to working with and learning from the new slate of Trustees, as well as the incumbants.
