We have six children, 18 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren so far. We chose to move here in 2005 and are very happy that we did. We have both been involved in many local, civic, charitable, church and town organizations and committees since arriving. The community has accepted and embraced us as we have embraced it. I have a background in residential construction and municipal service, among other things. I believe I can add value to the Board and contribute to the growth and stability of this very special place.
