The values and experiences that I acquired while growing up in the De Pere area
will be crucial in helping me represent District Three.

Family is important to me. My step father is a successful businessman who ran
the family meat market for many years and my mother is a caring homemaker.
Together they gave me the background to understand differing viewpoints and
stand strong in the face of opposition.

My education is based in local values and rich tradition as I attended Lincoln
School, St Boniface Grade School, Abbot Pennings High School and St. Norbert
College.  While in college I was elected Student Government President, served
on the College Community Relations Board and Business and Finance Committee
and worked part time off campus. I graduated with a Bachelors Degree in
Business Administration. I am currently attending UW Oshkosh in pursuit of my
MBA.

My workplace experience includes 5 years of sales and 9 years of banking,
which has led me to my current position as a Commercial Lending Officer for
the Bank of Luxemburg - Bellevue Branch. This background has taught me keen
financial and analytical skills that have been necessary during my tenure.

Currently I am a member of the Main Street Economic Redevelopment
Committee for the past five years. I am also on the Advance Economic
Development Survey Team.

Community Service is important to me. Most recently I have contributed my
time to the De Pere Lions Club, St. Norbert Alumni Organization and the
Celebrate De Pere Committee. .

My local background and varied experience will be an asset as I represent you
on the De Pere Common Council.
