Candidate for
Council Member; City of Cheviot; Ward 1

My name is Ryan Zech and I am 27 years old. I grew up on Bruestle Avenue where I had lived until I bought my first home on Homelawn Avenue last year.

I attended Cheviot Elementary School for Kindergarten and then attended Saint Ignatius School for grades 1-8. I graduated from St. Ignatius in 1993.

I am a 1996 graduate of La Salle High School. While there, I was active with the marching band, Key Club, concert band, and with the yearbook.

I graduated from Thomas More College in Northern Kentucky in December of 2001 with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. While there, I was involved with the Thomas More College Irish Club. I also worked as the Audio-Visual Coordinator for the college while I attended. I remained in that position after graduation until June of 2004.

Now, I am a full-time employee of the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts office as a Deputy Court Room Clerk. I have held this position since June of last year. I am responsible for processing the paper work that is generated from Municipal/Traffic Court.

I am a Graduate of the Cheviot Citizen's Police Academy. I also produce the annual CFA Grade School Basketball Tournament and the Harvest Home Parade for Cable Access Television.

I currently serve as the Cheviot Cable Access Coordinator. I originally began as a volunteer camera operator for Cheviot Cable Access. Later, I was promoted to the coordinator's position. Currently my plan is to remain the Cable Access Coordinator regardless of the result of the November Election.

I ran for this position in 2001 and lost by two votes (282-280). I was appointed to serve as Clerk of Council and have done so for the last 4 years.
