What do you love most about your job? Being able to communicate with the membership. Having the opportunity to educate our members of some of the history/benefits of this great union, and why it’s important to stay involved with the understanding of what makes the gear go round.

Something interesting about yourself: I am a family first kind of guy. A loving wife Leigh of 25 years and two children Megan and Jake are my foundation. They always seem to keep me grounded and we have a few words of wisdom we follow in our household; Live every moment, Laugh every day, Love beyond words. I loved to help in the community when time allows, and I really enjoyed coaching sports to give back what I was taught and to be able to influence our children of my community so one day they will be prosperous in life. I had some awesome coaches and union mentors that believed in me and gave me opportunities to be successful in my life.
