My Story
I’ve lived in Huntertown for nearly 50 years. This is my home, not a political stepping stone.
I’m a third-generation factory worker and business owner. I understand what it means to meet payroll, build teams, and plan for the long term. I’m a welder by trade and a factory guy at heart.
In 2004, I helped grow Wirco Inc. from a 20-person operation into a multi-site, industry-leading company that now employs more than 155 people. That growth didn’t happen by chance. It came from discipline, strategic planning, and data-driven decision-making.
My faith is central to who I am. As a Christian, I believe leadership is about humility, service, and doing what is right, even when it’s difficult. My faith shapes how I treat people, how I make decisions, and how I approach responsibility.
I earned my degree from Indiana University Bloomington in Environmental Science and Public Management. I’m a graduate of St. Vincent de Paul, Bishop Dwenger, and IU Bloomington.
My commitment to service goes beyond business. I served six years on the St. Vincent de Paul School Board, including as president. I’ve served on parish finance councils, boards for Catholic business leaders, and helped lead fundraising efforts for multiple local institutions.
I’m running for town council because I believe Huntertown needs leadership focused on service, integrity, and responsibility, not personal legacy.
