"It is a privilege to serve as your Fire Commissioner, a role I hold in high regard. The voter-approved formation of a regional fire authority reflects both the challenges and opportunities facing our fire departments today.  My background in public service, financial management, leadership, and fundraising will enable me to serve our community effectively. I am committed to developing sound policies and procedures, ensuring prudent financial oversight, advocating for advancements in community and firefighter safety, and fostering community engagement in local disaster preparedness."
