I have been an Oak Park Village trustee between 2017-2023 and served as an Oak Park Township trustee for six years prior to my Village Board tenure. As a Village Trustee, I have passed fiscally responsible budgets that keep taxes predictable while maintaining the high level of services we provide in Oak Park.

I am a lifelong Oak Park resident.  I attended St. Giles Elementary School and Oak Park & River Forest High School, class of ’82. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Boston College in 1986, and earned an MBA from Loyola University.  I’m also a Certified Public Accountant. My wife Anneke and I been married for 28 years and have 5 children who we raised in Oak Park.

I have seen Oak Park change in many ways – mostly positive ways. But I know we still have work to do, which requires continual attention and vigilance. I think I bring a skill set to the Village Board that can help the board address those issues.

In my six years on the Village board and six years on the Township board, I have found that it is possible to deliver necessary services to Oak Park residents in a fiscally responsible way.
