I am married to my dear wife Lorna, who owns and operates Lorna's Line Bridal and Alterations in downtown Hoquiam. We have four grown children and 8 grandchildren. I worked for ITT Rayonier for 23 years and have been with Grays Harbor Paper, L. P. since it began operation. I am the Utilities Manager for Grays Harbor Paper.

I have been involved in city government for nearly 20 years, most of that on the Planning Commission. I have a deep passion to see the City of Hoquiam and its residents truly thrive in all aspects. I desire to see the city grow positively with new businesses new residents coming to our wonderful town. I desire to see the infrastructure of our city renewed and improved as growth comes our way

I am a lifetime citizen of Hoquiam. I graduated from HHS in 1973. I am married to my lovely wife Cynthia. We have two children one is at HHS, and our oldest daughter is playing Mickey Mouse in Disney World until January. She will then go back and continue her college education.
