Eatonville needs a political atmosphere that promotes positive commercial and residential growth. New business need to be encouraged to come into Eatonville. Deterioration of older buildings needs to be rectified.

I would support measures that would insure that the Town Council always stay within a balanced budget.

I have extensive experience in administration and budget oversight. I am a 20 years resident of Eatonville and have a first hand long term concept of the needs and desires of this community. I have contributed to the welfare of this community as a volunteer fire fighter for 20 years and as a Pierce County Sheriff's chaplain for 17 years. I have retired from both recently and want an opportunity to continue to serve Eatonville.

I came to Eatonville in 1989 to pioneer a church and to serve this community. I believe that my commitment to diligence and integrity would be a valuable asset to the Town Council.
