He is a fresh conservative leader with a heart for the community who will work to move the township forward with integrity. I'm respectfully asking for your vote in the upcoming Lee Township scheduled election. I grew up in Beaverton and graduated high school in 1988. I went to Northwood Institute/University where I graduated with honors in 1992 with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. I moved to Midland shortly after graduation and have lived in Midland ever since. Upon graduation, I was a part of the original crew of Midland Cinemas. I worked my way up to Manager and remained as a Manager for over 5 years. After leaving the Cinemas I became the Controller of Wheeler Plastics in Wheeler, MI. Unfortunately, after a couple of years, the owner passed away. I stayed on for another year before leaving to pursue other opportunities. I worked at a number of locations as Controller until I landed a job in the Insurance industry. I still maintain my Insurance licenses. I left this career when my wife had significant health issues and I needed to take care of her. Currently I'm employed by Freudenberg Battery Power Systems in the Finance Department with a focus on Accounts Receivable and Account Reconciliations. In 2001 my father bought the Gem Theater in Beaverton. For almost 15 years, until my father’s death, I managed the theater and did all of the financial reporting. (P&L, Payables, Payroll, Payroll taxes, etc.) My wife and I have been happily married since 1999. We moved to Lee Township in 2000 when we built the house that we still live in. I am experienced in financial and accounting practices and I understand the underlying principles. This provides value in my performing the Trustee’s Statutory Duties and Fiduciary Oversight of the Township records and process and procedures, checks and balances. I look forward to engaging with and meeting more Lee Township residents. My priority is to ensure I have their best interest in mind when they entrust me into the Board of Lee Township as the new Trustee.
