I was born and raised in Brookfield, fifth generation. My ancestors have been members of this community since 1858. I met my future wife here, and together we raised two daughters, who have returned to Brookfield with their families. I have worked in and served the City of Brookfield for decades, as a business owner, and as the City’s Director of Administration. My experiences as a life-long resident and in those roles have provided me with a unique historical perspective. My primary goal in undertaking this position is to ensure that Brookfield remains a place that future generations choose to stay or return to raise their families as well. My hope is that we can work together to that end.
