My Story
A lifelong Waterloo resident, businessman, and committed community advocate, I served 12 years on the Waterloo City Council and am a former Chairman of the Black Hawk County Republican Party.
Deeply engaged in civic life, I have served on numerous local boards and organizations, including Rotary and the Grout Museum. For more than 20 years, I have mentored local students and have been honored as both Cedar Valley Mayor’s Volunteer of the Year and Iowa Governor’s Volunteer of the Year.
