Why did you decide to run for trustee? In short, because I love my Town! I was raised here, went to school here, and my family is here. My Wife and I made the decision to raise our son here in Beecher. I truly want what’s best for this town and the people. I’m at a point in my life where I am able to dedicate my time to the community and I hope to do that for the next 4 years!
Have you held public office before? No
What is your background? I graduated from Beecher High School (2001), and I have an associate degree from the University of Northwestern Ohio in Automotive. I’ve worked in excavating, demolition, and also a millwright company. I’m currently employed in the waste industry.
What community involvement, organization, affiliations, or club memberships do you have? I currently volunteer at the Beecher Amvet’s Fish Fry, and I am also a Local 179 Teamster.
What characteristics, qualifications, or experience do you feel you possess to be a trustee? My past work experience transfers over to many areas of the village. Roads, new construction, and maintenance. Since November of last year, I’ve attended almost every Village Board meeting, planning and zoning meetings and workshops, to prepare myself should I be elected as a Trustee.
How can the village board improve? After attending several meetings, I can honestly say the current board has done a great job. I hope with my experience, I can help continue that trend and add to it.
What are important issues you’d like to address and how will you address them? I would like to try to get the community more involved and offer more input to the board. That can be achieved through social media, the newsletter and getting more people to the meetings!
What are some improvements you’d like to see happen in Beecher? Everything I want to see happen is currently planned or underway. IE: Water main replacements, road improvements, the new Beecher police station. I feel it’s very important to keep these projects on target and within budget.
Anything else important you’d like people to know? Get out and vote April 4th! I fully support the Beecher School Referendum and I thank everyone in advance for their support and consideration!
