I am originally from Grafton, West Virginia. The USAF brought my family to Knob Noster in 2004. After spending 21 years at numerous locations around the world, we decided to make Knob Noster our home and a great place to raise our daughter. I retired from the 509th Munitions Squadron in 2007. I then spent some time as a substitute teacher and was actively involved in the Knob Noster Youth Sports Association. Our daughter has since graduated from Knob Noster in 2021 and is currently attending Central Methodist University. I currently work for the Defense Logistics Agency on Whiteman AFB. I have seen so many changes within our City Government lately and a vision I feel I can help them achieve serving as Alderman for Ward III. I look forward to seeing the continued growth of our City.
