Tell us about your public service (township boards, committees you sit on): None

Any previous elected office (council, school board, etc)? How many years have you served? None

What conflicts would you have (what won't you be able to vote on) if elected? I will abstain

to vote on any resolutions pertaining to Hospitals and or medical facilities in town.

Tell us about the most important thing you do that has nothing to do with politics or your employment: My most important role in life is to be a positive role model for my family. To raise a family that will contribute to society in a positive manner, have a commitment and determination, to be the best versions of themselves that they can be, and to have the toughness and mental fortitude to succeed when others say you can’t.

What will you do if you are elected to council? Should I earn the privilege to serve the residents of Brick on township council, I want them to know that in every vote I take, every tough decision I make, I will ALWAYS begin with the question in mind of "How does this benefit the residents of Brick" and improve our quality of life in town for the hard working families in our community, and our wonderful seniors that have given so much to both our town and country.

We put together a document titled "Our contract with the Brick Township Taxpayers." We address everything from quality of life issues, as well as, transparency within local government. Should our team earn your vote, we plan to execute our contract to make Brick the best it can be for every resident.
