Born and raised in Mokena, I graduated from Lincoln-Way High School and went into residential construction.  I worked as a rough framer learning the home from the bottom up.  From there I moved into remodeling bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces where I learned the skills needed to complete a wide range of repairs.. As a husband and father of two daughters and a son, serving my local community is a priority for me. I take pride in tackling smaller projects that others might overlook, helping my neighbors in ways that make a difference. My faith and connection to the community are strengthened by my involvement with Hickory Creek Church, which plays an essential role in my life.
