I appreciate this opportunity to be on city council and represent the citizens of Troutdale. East Multnomah County has been engrained as part of my life as I graduated from Centennial High School and attended Mount Hood Community College. I live here in Troutdale with my wife, Karen. Together we have a blended family with 4 adult children and 3 grandchildren. We love everything Troutdale has to offer, especially our closeness to the river as we love to boat in the good weather months.
Community involvement has been important to me much of my adult life. After serving on many of Troutdale’s commissions and committees I look forward to the opportunity of serving on City Council. The voice of the people in today’s government is important to me, and I feel gets lost from time to time. Public Safety and growth the right way is two of my major concerns. I look forward to making a difference and hearing from citizens of Troutdale.
