I am honored to have served as your Fire Commissioner for nine years and I am asking for your vote to allow me to continue serving. The citizens and families in Fire District 40 deserve to continue receiving high quality, efficient and cost-effective emergency services.  My 35 years as a firefighter, 8 years as a training officer, and over 18 years as a Fire Commissioner in two different districts have equipped me with the knowledge and experience necessary to ensure our community continues to receive outstanding fire and life safety services. My focus remains on fiscal responsibility, customer service, transparency and responsible management of your fire department. When seconds count, it’s my responsibility to make sure highly qualified responders arrive quickly and deliver the help you need.  I would appreciate your continued support and vote November 7th.
