I have lived in South Weber for most of my life. I enjoy living in our community. When I married my wife in 1996, we decided to make our home in South Weber. We could not think of a better place to raise our kids. We enjoy being parents of three beautiful girls. I work at Welcome Home Assisted Living as the Executive Director. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work in a job that I enjoy. Working with the elderly is a great experience. My wife and I have served as City Youth Council Advisors since 1998. We love working with the Youth of our Community. It gives us the opportunity to serve the Community and give back for all it offers us. I enjoy serving on the city council and participating in the city. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and concerns you might have regarding our city.

Like the sagebrush in this beautiful valley, I have been here a long time and my roots run deep. And despite the wind and weather, I love this place I call home. My beautiful wife Sherry and our four children have also taken root and we feel blessed to live among such good people for which South Weber is known. My desire in serving is to make South Weber an even better place to live. Through vision, community spirit and a "can do" attitude, South Weber will rise to new heights and continue its reputation for being a desirable place to live.  I received my Batchelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration from Weber State in 1984. I have worked for America First Credit Union for nearly 25 years. I served a four-year term on the South Weber City Council in the mid 90's and I am excited to continue to serve this great community.
