​ My wife, Kathi, and I have been married for 36 years and have raised four daughters who all graduated from Waukee High School. Kathi and I are both retired and enjoy spending time with family, gardening and volunteering for a number of organizations around the area including the Waukee Area Christian Services and the Iowa Homeless Youth Center. ​ Growing up my parents always instilled a foundation of fairness, ethics and hard work. Those qualities have served me well and I am looking forward to bringing more of that to the state house as your representative. I promise that if elected I will listen to your ideas and be a representative that you can be proud of.
