Born in, raised in, and remain a lifelong resident of Shakopee.  I was a Neighborhood Watch pioneer 18 years ago with the creation of the Pearson North Neighborhood Watch group which I captained for 12 years.  This success has lead to many other formed and forming block groups which assist our community in fighting and preventing crimes as well as controlling law enforcement costs.

Night to Unite (formerly National Night Out) has also become a part of Shakopee with more than 80 different areas organized and many more organizing every year.  I strongly support these efforts as shown in my own commitment over 18 years ago leading these programs to better our city. 

Public safety is important to all of us.  The links below lead to some of the certificate I have received showing my dedication to the safety of the resident of Shakopee.

When I took the oath of office in January 2002 I promised to work in the best interests of the citizens of Shakopee.  I've done that, and will continue to do so if given the opportunity to represent you again.

I spend time during the year with various community projects and non-profit charitable organizations.  It's part of how I keep in touch with you, my neighbors, the people I represent on the City Council.
