Biography

As a forty-three-year resident of Teton County, I now live in Moran with my wife Jan. With proven leadership in the private sector in addition to partnerships and employment with the Town of Jackson, Teton County, Wyoming, and Federal government agencies, I am no stranger to government and public service. I was locally elected to the Board of Supervisors and was the former Executive Director of the Teton Conservation District.

I have been an advisor for updating the County Natural Resource Protection LDR’s and graduated from the statewide Leadership Wyoming program. I have worked 15 years as Staff Biologist and Land Steward for the Jackson Hole Land Trust. As a result, I have extensive knowledge of private lands in Teton County – including the County’s development history, water and wildlife resource

Why I am Running

First of all, this is my home and you are my neighbors. Second, there is no other place like Teton County. People who came before us took care of this special location and we are blessed to have inherited it. Now, it is our turn to reciprocate. I have the proven track record of working in this community to do this for the benefit of all.

Top 3 Priorities

The top three priorities I want to focus on for Teton County are balanced growth, fiscal responsibility, and habitat conservation. I want to balance commerce demands with workers’ capacity and the environment, steward our wildlife habitat and natural resources, and provide excellent customer service through fiscal responsibility.
