Bio/Issues Information
I am an independent thinker who makes decisions based on information provided to me, input from those impacted and my own homework of the issue.
I have experienced the negative impact on housing prices, crime and quality of public schools, due to over development and pledge to work towards encouraging thoughtful development which will allow our town to prosper and remain vibrant.
I am concerned about what kind of environment we are leaving our children.
