I'm a second generation Montanan, born in Forsyth and raised in Great Falls. My wife and I have lived, worked, and volunteered in the Great Falls community for over 25 years. We raised our two daughters through the Great Falls public school system over the past 20 years.

I not only make it my business to know the nitty-gritty details of the issues facing this community and our state, I live those kitchen table issues every day. I punch a time clock part time at Stray Moose Productions and am a computer consultant and entrepreneur. I understand the challenges facing all of us who have to work two or three jobs to make ends meet in a low wage economy. We love our community and our state but we can do better for ourselves, our kids, and coming generations of Montanans. Let's get to work!
