It has always been my belief that if I was willing to express an opinion about decisions being made in my community then I should also be willing to get involved in the decision making process. That belief has led me to spending the better part of the last decade in local government. After getting my start on Kent’s Planning Commission I ran for and  was elected to Kent City Council where I now serve as President. My next goal is to take all of my experience and desire to serve my community to the Ohio State House as Representative for District 72 where I will work to make life better for all Ohioans.
