Biographical Info:

Born in SE Ohio and worked in the oil fields until moving to Arizona in 1986. Worked in a family wholesale business, Food distribution and started own off road tour business before starting one of the most successful firearms retail businesses in the whole state. Served 2 terms on the Apache Junction City council before serving 2 terms as Mayor. Currently the incumbent County Supervisor.

Statement:

I was moved to seek the position of County Supervisor in 2020 after being frustrated that the person holding the office for the previous 8 years was not doing a good job of representing residents and working on the big issues that face District 5. In my 1st term I tackled, and was successful in solving the public land squatter issue on BLM land, bringing ADOT to the table to reopen highway 88, as well as implementing Firewise Communities, Dark Sky regulations, Wecom fiber optic internet to the Superior area and securing much needed reimbursement funding for the Fire District, all the while answering every request for assistance from constituents. While I firmly believe in term limits and will never seek a 3rd term, I need a 2nd term to finish some projects that I’ve started and make the top priority getting highway 24 pushed through to the US 60 which will solve 80% of my district’s transportation problems.
