About me
"It has been my honor to serve as your New Albany Township Board member for the last seven plus years. As the Township Board President, we have implemented strong financials and polices from the current term into visible actions. I feel the progress we have made over my second term has strengthened the office of New Albany Township Trustee. Currently, we are acting on plans for real improvements to our cemeteries such as restorations to the head stones and new signage."
