I have lived in Commerce Township since 1992, I retired from the USPS after 31 years. I'm a graduate of the University of Michigan. I'm a proud father of two daughters, who graduated from WLC. I served on the PTA and was a Band Dad.

  • I will do my best to lower the property tax burden of the residents of Commerce Township. We supposedly have one of the lowest tax rates in the area, but it could be lower.
  • We have a very good ranking in crime for our size. BUT... our neighbors are better. ???? I will ask questions and look to see how we can improve. I will ask our law enforcement to prioritize crimes with actual victims.
  • Traffic is a major headache. There is no easy or inexpensive fix to this problem. Are more roundabouts the answer? I think we need to look around for more creative answers.

That the tax rate is lower and the budget is balanced, The township debt is eliminated

Openness and being honest. Telling the truth even if it hurts.

To be a good steward of the money and resources you are entrusted with.

Atlas Shrugged, Idiocracy and Brazil come to mind.

Government must be transparent and held accountable for every tax dollar it spends. These dollars are taken under duress from the residents. Don't pay your taxes and see what happens.

I want to lower my township's tax burden. Too many people are on fixed incomes, working two jobs, or coming out of retirement to make ends meet. No one should lose their house to pay for a pickleball court, no matter how nice it looks.

My first paycheck job was at a major supermarket as a cart wrangler. I held the job for one month as I was going to college soon.

I look up to my father and grandfather. I would like to follow Kerry Bentivillo because of the way he handled himself in Congress and with others.

I'm a hard worker. I have a low tolerance for BS especially if it affects people unfairly.
