Many friends and local leaders encouraged me to run because they are aware of my experience and passion for serving our community.  But the reason why I accepted their call was because I LOVE CACHE VALLEY.  We have been blessed to live in a special place.  My wife and I are raising our kids here because Cache Valley is safe, beautiful and filled with great people.  

I am running for County Executive because I feel a responsibility to protect and preserve the things that make Cache Valley our wonderful home.

Once appointed, I plan to focus on several key priorities, including:

1. Public Safety
2. Transportation 
3. Economic Development
4. Preservation of open space, Ag lands and water, and
5. Protecting your hard-earned tax dollars by modernizing county operations and ensuring efficiency

Through my years of experience in similar positions, I’ve learned how to run an efficient organization.  I believe government should be run like a business and I would lead the county in a way that is:

• Efficient
• Prioritizes customer service and 
• Is responsible with the public's tax dollars
• Modernizes operations
