Candidate Statement

Hello. I am asking for your vote as Westlake's Ward 2 City Council representative. I have chosen to run for election for several reasons. Foremost is because I care about Westlake, about the residents and the direction of the City that I've resided in for over 35 years. I want to ensure that it remains a place where my children will want to raise their families. Secondly is to represent the residents of Ward 2 in a professional, responsive manner that will reflect positively on you and the City. Lastly is to utilize the financial knowledge and experience of municipal government operations that I have optained over the past 24 years to benefit not only Ward 2 but all residents of Westlake in future decisions made by Council.

Presently I am the City Administrator and Finance Director for the City of Pepper Pike. In this capacity I am responsible for the overall daily operations of the City in addition to those of the Finance department. Prior to joining Pepper Pike I served as the Finance Director/Tax Administrator for Bay Village for nearly 20 years and the Assistant Director of Finance for the City of Lakewood for 3 years.

Currently I also serve as the Fiscal Officer for the Westshore Council of Governments, a Member of the Westlake Civil Service Commission and a Board Member of the Regional Income Tax Agency. I have served on the Westlake Charter Review Commission and the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant Advisory Board.
