In 2005 I retired from the United States Coast Guard after completing 12 years active service and 9 years reserve service. Since then, I have worked in construction equipment production and service, building maintenance, and facilities management.

In 2001 my family and I moved to Algona. I like the friendly, small town atmosphere of Algona and feel safe in our community. In 2017 I became a member of the Planning Commission and have enjoyed working with that team. I have learned a great deal about Algona and city government. As the region grows our central location makes our town a prime location for families and businesses. I want to keep our small town feel and sense of community while increasing opportunities for our residents and businesses. I look forward to serving our community in this role and want to help guide the direction of Algona with support from our residents.
