Bill to my family and friends, I am married with 3 grown children, 4 grandchildren. Graduated from Allen Park High School and served in the Naval Air. I attended South Macomb Community College for a Tool & Die apprenticeship, and worked in that industry for 10 years. From there I went into the construction field, working in electrical, plumbing, commercial and residential building, eventually forming my own company. I became involved with the construction of the Kmart/Riverside Plaza which afforded me the opportunity to get to know this area and appreciate its potential.

I have been a resident of Marine City for over 30 years. The City of Marine City hired me as Building Inspector in 1986 and I remained with them until my retirement. I am currently employed by several municipalities as Building Inspector, Code Official, Plan Review and Zoning Administrator with 30 years of experience in my field. I have been a member of the Maritime Days Committee and am an active member and past President of the Marine City Rotary. I look forward to serving my community as a City Commissioner.
