Candidate for
Council Member; Town of Paradise

Paradise is a friendly town where people can come and raise their families, make it their home and live out their senior years. Paradise is blessed with abundant beauty and good people who deserve strong leadership that always acts in their best interest. I am committed to serve you, with transparency, strength and vision.

I retired in 1998 and made Paradise my home, my wife is a 55 year resident of Paradise and we have a blended family of six children who are all on their own.

I value fiscal- responsibility, strength in leadership, and transparency in government. As your elected representative I will confront the difficult issues facing our community and act aggressively in the best interest of our residents and tax payers.

As your Councilman I will use my 30 years experience in municipal government to promote fiscal, responsibility, protect property values, and work with the private sector and others to open new businesses, increase revenues and fully fund our police and fire services.

I served Butte County on the 2010 - 2011 Grand Jury, my country in the Army and as a government employee to my home town of Norfolk, VA.

I ask for your vote.
