Volunteer Experience
Throughout my life, it is been in volunteering that I discover the basic concerns and issues that face a community. I shared those thoughts in this article I wrote on the Value of Volunteering. From childhood on, I have volunteered in civic, educational and religious organizations and enjoyed many years as a basketball coach for teenagers.

Professional Experience
Using my 28 years of financial experience, I work to find ways to continually decrease the tax levy, to curb or cut costs, and to better serve our residents. Spending your tax dollars sensibly means looking at the long-term costs and benefits of each project, not just the impact on next month or next year. I am currently Dealer Relations Manager with Empower Federal Credit Union, and my prior position was as Finance Director, Driver’s Village.
