I started my career with a survey crew and worked my way up to managing large construction projects across Illinois and neighboring states.

Over the years I’ve built roads, bridges, rail lines, and subdivisions, working side by side with crews, engineers, and local officials. Those experiences taught me the value of solid planning, straight talk, and keeping an eye on the long term.

On the County Board, I want to put that same approach to work. Supporting responsible growth, protecting farmland, and making sure our infrastructure serves both today’s residents and the next generation.
