What aspect of working in Town Council
is most important to you? When my wife
and I moved to Columbus more than 30 years
ago, we found Columbus to be a wonderful place
to live. Helping the town keep this quality is of
utmost importance to me.

What do you hope to accomplish as a Town Council member? I have been in
office for a long time and have always considered myself as no more than a servant of
the people of Columbus. I've always wanted to make decisions that would represent the
will of the citizens, keep their tax dollars as low as possible, and provide the best ser-
vices. These have been and continue to be
my desires, and they guide my decisions in
this position.
