I'm running for County Commissioner in District #2 because with opportunity of change I feel that it is the time to lead the county in a direction that is a better future for the citizens of Stoddard County.

I am a lifelong resident of Stoddard County living in District #2 and pledge to continue to live in the district for as long as I am your commissioner.

I have two sons and am dedicated to the future of Stoddard County during these challenging times that require and demand that we have competent, and effective leadership.

I have been an active member of the Dexter Fire Department for 30 years and a board member of the Stoddard County Health Department.

I'm also the Chairman of the Bootheel Local Emergency Planning Committee which consists of 8 counties in the Bootheel of Missouri.

I am a self-employed business owner specializing in Hazmat Response, disaster preparedness and recovery after a natural disaster.  My business experience and professional training makes me uniquely qualified to deal with current issues facing our county.

A change is needed to ensure that the citizens of our county are protected by a Commission that is organized, prepared, and financially responsible for the particular needs of our community.

Thank you and God bless the United States of America.

Sincerely your candidate for Stoddard County Commission, District #2
