I have had the honor of serving as the Mayor of Bartlett since 2013. I have also served as the Chairman of our local Chamber of Commerce & Chairman of the Executive Board for Metro Mayors Caucus serving over 200 municipalities. I have owned and operated businesses in Finance. With my experience as a business owner and leadership as a Mayor I know what it takes to work together for the best interests of the 40,000 residents of Bartlett. Proud father of 3 successful adult children and grateful husband for over 30 years.
  • Oppose Tax Increases and unbalanced budget
  • Keep our residents safe- stop defund police efforts
  • Stop corruption and government overreach
I am very passionate about how efficient the State of Illinois is while spending our hard earned tax dollars. High taxes and rising crime have made Illinois a tough place to raise a family. The budgeting process in our state has to change. I am passionat about the safety of our communities and lowering taxes.
Growing up, I am the youngest of 6 children of a single mother who passed away when I was 11 years old. I know what it is like to struggle financially.
High taxes combined with the need for updating our infrastructure requires a representative who has a proven record of leadership and problem solving. Equally as important is reducing the crime rate.
I do believe that the lessons I have learned as a Mayor, which requires a lot of diplomacy, is very beneficial in becoming an effective legislator.
While creating it is absolutely necessary to reach a compromise. We have democrats and republicans on our Village Board and we work together to approve policy that is best for the entire Village of Bartlett.
