ABOUT ME
Putting My Experience
to Work
Over the last four years serving as one of your Sweetwater County Commissioners, and more than 30 years in leadership roles on public boards, community organizations, and industry associations, I’ve worked to bring practical, conservative leadership to county government.
I believe government should live within its means, focus on its core responsibilities, and respect the rights and freedoms of the people it serves. My record reflects a commitment to fiscal responsibility, thoughtful decision-making, private property rights, and maintaining a pro-growth environment for Sweetwater County families, businesses, and communities.
As county revenues and valuations have declined in recent years, I’ve supported responsible budgeting and difficult but necessary decisions to protect essential county services and preserve long-term financial stability.
I also believe effective leadership requires listening to constituents, working collaboratively with others, and finding practical solutions to real-world challenges. Throughout my time in office, I’ve worked closely with fellow commissioners, county employees, industry leaders, community stakeholders, and partner agencies to move Sweetwater County forward responsibly.
As Abraham Lincoln once said:
“Government should do for the people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more.”

Conservative
As your county commissioner, I’ve worked to make sure Sweetwater County lives within its means and spends taxpayer dollars responsibly.
