A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER Welcome! Thanks for taking the time to visit my website.
Here you can find information on my background, principles, positions on the issues, and details of my accomplishments over my four years as an Oakland County Commissioner.
I grew up in southeast Michigan, working and living in Oakland County for over 25 years. I consider it a great honor to represent my 6th District neighbors of White Lake and Waterford.
Oakland County is confronting economic changes and challenges like it’s never faced before and I believe the solutions are the very ones that build this county; low taxes, small government, free markets and strong families.
I am committed to remaining steadfast in keeping our county’s budget balanced and maintaining our AAA bond rating without tax increases. Voters realize the decisions county officials make these days are critical — not only for Oakland County’s long-term financial survival but also to taxpayers’ pocketbooks as well.
But I am convinced that the majority of our residents do not desire government handouts, ridiculous regulation or forced income redistribution. They want less government interference in their personal affairs and businesses and to take pride in their ability to provide for their families. I am proud to work every day to ensure that we continue to retain our high quality of life, and at the same time, keep our taxes under control.
Hopefully you'll find this webpage useful, and I encourage you to read more about my positions and proposals on the issues by visiting the issues page.
