| Elected by Ward for a 4-year term. Current term
ends November, 2009.
Broomfield resident
since 2001. I grew up in
northeast Colorado Springs in an area much like Broomfield.
Married to
Nicole; we have two beautiful little kids -- preschool age -- who
attend classes at the recreation center and library.
Education: B.S. in Exercise
Science from Northern Arizona University, M.B.A. from
the University of Colorado at Denver, and D.C. from Texas Chiropractic
College.
Occupation:
I enjoy being a parent, husband and councilmember. A chiropractor,
I’ve been the owner of FIT Chiropractic in Broomfield since 2000
In
my spare time, I enjoy being with family, going to the recreation center, biking, hiking, skiing,
reading, traveling and going to the farm where we have a milk cow. I
also enjoy Colorado, learning,
listening… and living.
Community
Participation: Through my
business, I enjoy sponsoring youth sporting events and any other
community events I hear about.
Philosophy of local
government:
I prefer government to be
as minimally invasive as possible. Laws are meant to protect the weak
and innocent. If we were all equal and fair, we would not need laws;
unfortunately we are not.
Government costs
time and money, if we have too much there is a cost, or too little
there is a cost. I believe Broomfield tries hard to be a balanced
community.
Our small town feel is very important to me. Preserving as much of why we all live in
Broomfield and planning for the future in which our children will live
should be a priority. Community participation by all groups is a must
for local government to function optimally. It is imperative that the
newer generations participate and care about the history of our
community so we can all enjoy the future. This is why I decided to
serve on council: to show that it is possible for “younger” citizens
with a family and full-time job to serve the community. I see myself
as just a regular citizen who can bring the concerns of fellow
citizens to the table.
