Converse:
My Home, Our Town
As a 25-year resident of Converse, I have seen the explosive growth of our wonderful city. In fact, I have been an active participant! From being a board member on multiple commissions to council liaison to even more commissions, I have served Team Converse in a vast variety of capacities.
I spent 24 years in the US Air Force and several years post military as an entrepreneur and small business owner. These experiences led me to participate in the development and continued growth of our great city as well as equipping me with a unique perspective and broad experience in leadership, teamwork and service to Converse.
I pledge to use all resources applicable as we move Team Converse forward!
