I am asking for your support in the upcoming election because I want to be of service to our community.   My wife, Sharon, and I moved in at the end of July, 2011 and we love the community. I am retired as Director of Sales and Marketing for a multi-national manufacturing firm. In that capacity I had both domestic and international sales responsibilities and administrative responsibilities that include personnel selection, evaluation and supervision, budget preparation, monthly forecasting, media material preparation and placement negations, and tradeshow coordination, to list a few.

I am a good listener who encourages open dialog and understands that while we may not always agree we must always be respective of each other’s opinions.
