After Graduating from Montana Tech, I worked in the Engineering field for several years while obtaining my Masters in Business Administration. In 1996 I changed career paths and started Vinton Construction Inc. building residential homes, as well as some commercial projects. I continue to operate the construction business. I am a past president and serve on the board of the Billings Homebuilders Association and additionally serve as 2nd Vice president of the Montana Builders Industry Association. I have always believed in giving back to the community. We support many local organizations either financially, or by volunteering. Some of those organizations are- Billings Playhouse Parade, Special Olympics, Eagle Mount, Optimist Club, multiple youth sports organizations, and White Sulphur Springs Labor Day Rodeo. I have followed Montana politics for many years, and am ready, willing and able to serve the citizens of HD40 in Helena as your Representative!
