FAMILY
Like most of us, my family is my number one priority. I've been married to my beautiful wife Billie for 17 years and we've been blessed with two amazing kids: Natalie, a straight-A honors student, is 15 and goes to Wilmington High School, where she plays softball, volleyball, and basketball. Joey is 11 and also a straight-A student. He's a football quarterback & linebacker, a wrestler, and a hockey player, and attends St. Rose's Catholic School. I coach Joey's football team, the Wilmington Bobcats. As a family, we attend church at St. Rose's in Wilmington.

COMMUNITY
Community is an extension of family and that's why Billie and I chose to raise our family in Wilmington: we love our community. In 2013, I became an alderman in Wilmington. I learned a lot about local government and the hard work it takes to plan and create a future for our community. I'm ready to put that knowledge to work, serving on the Will County Board.

WORK
People in southwestern Will County know the value of hard work. I'm a union electrician and member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 176. I've served my union on the executive board, as an international conference delegate, and as part of the SIN (sick, injured, and needy) Committee.

We're a union family. In fact, my wife, Billie, has been an IBEW member even longer than I have. Furthermore, my dad recently retired after 47 years as a pipefitter (Local 422/597) and his dad, my grandfather, was also a Local 422 member. I know the value of a solid, middle-class wage and how important it is to bring good jobs to southwestern Will County.

I am also a member of the Wilmington Moose Lodge 241, the NRA and ABATE: I support Second Amendment Rights and the rights, safety, and security of motorcyclists in Illinois.
