When I moved to Black Diamond almost 30 years ago, I knew I had finally found my Home Town. I've raised my family here, owned and operated a business here, and have been actively supporting Black Diamond in any way I could.

I was a Director for the MVBD Chamber for seven years. I founded the BD Merchants Partnership and Miner's Day in 2003, served on the Planning Commission for four years, and have experience on the City Council. I've served as the Executive Director and Emcee of BD Labor Days for 14 years. And I continue to serve the BD Historical Society as Editor since 2012.

I like to think of myself as a consensus builder. I have worked to protect its character while securing a future of prosperity. I'm a cheerleader, and I'm cheering for Black Diamond as I continue my work to preserve our "Home Town" feel.
