For over 35 years, Hilliard has been my home. Together with my wife, we raised our two children in Hilliard and both kids graduated from Hilliard Davidson High School. My love of this community sparked my journey into community service to enhance the environment for our family and neighbors. Here are some of my contributions:
Rotary Club of Hilliard: I have proudly been a member for more than 20 years, serving in various capacities including president, vice president, board member, club grants chair, and events chair. I was honored with the Rotarian of the Year award in both 2003 and 2009.
Hilliard Education Foundation: I dedicated eight years to the board, holding positions as president, vice president, grants chair, and fundraising chair. In 2020, I was awarded the Foundation Star, recognizing my exemplary service, dedication, and commitment to advancing the foundation's mission and supporting our school system.
Additional Volunteering: My volunteer efforts extend to the Hilliard Food Pantry, Hilliard City Schools, First Community Church, and the Hilliard Ohio Soccer Association.
I also embarked on a creative venture over a decade ago by starting a small craft business. This endeavor of making etched drinking glasses allows me to engage with the community at local craft shows and supports a local business, MAK Home Furnishings in Old Hilliard, where my glasses are sold.
In my leisure time, I enjoy spending time with friends around Hilliard. We particularly enjoy visiting Hilliard’s Station Park, Center Street Market, and The Moose.
Academically, I graduated from Miami University with degrees in marketing and personnel management. After college, I relocated to Hilliard and embarked on a sales career in telecommunications. Currently, I work for AT&T as a Client Success Manager, where I am part of a sales team supporting a portfolio of international business accounts.
This journey of service and community involvement has been incredibly fulfilling, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to the vibrant community of Hilliard as a member of Hilliard City Council.
