My wife, Pam, and I moved to Lincoln from Vacaville seven years ago to be closer to family, and we fell in love with Lincoln. We love the familiar safe small town atmosphere, friendly people, quaint bustling downtown, nearby shopping, yet with open countryside just next door.

I have been in leadership positions nearly all of my life. As a freshman in High School, I got a job, and by my sophomore year, because of my analytical approach to the job, became the highest paid student in the school, and class president. By my senior year, I had three simultaneous jobs.

In college, I earned three degrees, (Electronics Technology, Information Processing, and Communications with an Emphasis in Broadcasting), all while working my way through at a radio station, where I continued for eight years after graduation as Chief Engineer, Operations Manager and Program Director.

My career roles include: business owner, software developer, IT Director, and vice-president of a national radio network, where I am now Principal Data Scientist. I have been on the Boards of Directors of two non-profit radio stations and the National Religious Broadcasters,

For fun, I'm an avid Trekkie, bowl, watch and read sci-fi, raise Japanese Koi, build space models and a model railroad.

After I lead a protest with a bullhorn in 2009, I realized Lincoln needs an analytical thinker in leadership, so I began attending and speaking at City Council meetings, studied the General Plan, and got appointed to the Planning Commission, where I have served for 4 years, including one as chairman.
