SUPERVISOR

​

​I’ve lived in Clay most of my life. Served as president of the Algonac Rotary, Algonac/Clay Community Foundation, and a member of the Algonac-Clay Historical Society, Harsens Island Homeowners Association.

 

Graduated from Algonac High School, holding two business degrees from Michigan State University and a computer science degree from the University of Florida. I’ve completed over 1,200 hours of training in township government and developed important relationships with neighboring communities and county, state, and federal agencies.  

 

With my experience as a full-time supervisor managing a $17 million budget, I’ve focused on protecting taxpayer money and ensuring high-value services. I currently oversee $12 million in grants, funding critical infrastructure, recreation, and road projects, along with various department improvements.

CLERK

​

​I have a strong education background beginning with obtaining an Associate degree in Human Service in 2007. I also received an Associate degree in Accounting in 2008.  I then obtained a Bachelor in General Studies with a concentration in Human Service/Criminal Justice in 2012.  I then completed my Master's in Business Administration in 2019.

 

I was appointed Township Clerk in 2015, then Elected Clerk in 2016. I was then Re-Elected to the Clerk position in 2020. I have invested in myself for the benefit of the residents by continuing my education throughout my tenure.

 

The township’s current annual budget is more than $17 million.

With my experience and education, I can work with other elected officials to make the best financial decisions for our township and ensure reporting and auditing comply with state and federal regulations.

TREASURER

​

My work background includes the banking industry followed by production scheduling and procurement for defense industry subcontractors.

 

I am currently serving Clay Township as treasurer, appointed by the board in 2017 to fill a vacancy and being elected in 2018 and 2020.  I’m the most qualified candidate because I’ve served the residents of Clay Township for the past seven years, faithfully, seeking out every opportunity to continue my education through the Michigan Municipal Treasurers Association and the Association of Public Treasurers, U.S. and Canada.

 

I’ve worked to obtain multiple certifications in public funds management and investment and a wealth of knowledge I use daily to perform my duties to the best of my abilities in the office.

TRUSTEE

​

I am an Elected Clay Township trustee and I have been a full-time resident in beautiful Clay Township for 28 years. After completing my BBA from WMU, my wife and I raised two beautiful children, both of whom attended Algonac Community Schools and went on to have successful careers.

 

I am a small business owner and while living in Clay I have coached youth sports, and high school football, and served my church and my community.  Throughout my previous terms, I have established great relationships with the other trustees, department heads, township employees, various community leaders, county officials, and our local state representatives and senators.

 

Communication and relationship building are critical components to the success of Clay Township. I am social, easy to approach, and cherish my family and friends in our community. They help shape me, guide me, and keep my moral compass pointed true.
