My wife and I moved to Villa Park 20 years ago with our two sons, and shortly after moving in, our daughter was born. I have owned a small business for more years then I can remember. My wife and I have been involved with our church for the 35 years we have been married, and I have served on its board for 15 years. I became involved in the village a few years ago when I served on the Traffic and Safety Commission, and on the Liquor Commission. In all that time, I have grown to love Villa Park and its residents. In 2007 I was elected trustee. I believe in the next few years you will see some wonderful things happening in the village, and I am happy to be involved in planning the future of Villa Park.
