The Peru Gazette

1. Please summarize your education, employment, family, community involvement. 

 I graduated from Peru High School in 1993.  I am married to Amy and we have three children; Frank, Cole and Jenna. I currently work for Hynes Electric Supply.  My community involvement includes; voluntary Peru Town Youth Coach for eight years in baseball, softball and soccer, and Peru Town Youth Committee member for six years. 

2. How will your background assist you as a member of the town council ?

I believe my background in voluntary work assists me as a town counselor by giving me the opportunity to interact with many of our town residents.  Over the years, I have been able to listen to their issues and concerns that our town residents would like to be addressed by our town board.     

3. What town issues concern you the most? 4. How would you address these issues? 

My recent area of concern is the ability of our town to overcome the cost of the last harsh winter and the current destruction from the last two floods. The cost incurred by these events will take diligent effort from all of our councilmembers to adjust the budget accordingly, so that it causes the least amount of effect.

5. Why should a person vote for you? 

People should vote for me, because I have experience as a Town Board Councilman for four years and for the past two years as the Deputy Supervisor.  I am a determined councilman and strongly believe in being an active representative for everyone.  I will always strive to maintain the positive fellowship that our present councilmembers have been able to achieve.  When our council works together, it benefits our town with prosperity and the ability to keep moving forward.
