Grit
A lot of what I know today started right here in Chester. I grew up working on local farms, learning to drive tractors and operate equipment at a young age. It taught me how to work hard, figure things out, and take pride in a job well done.
Those early experiences turned into more than 25 years of hands-on work. Over the last 25 years I’ve operated heavy equipment, maintained roadways, handled excavation, grading and drainage projects, plowed snow, and maintained and repaired equipment. I’ve also gained experience leading crews, managing projects, and budgeting.
I’ve spent most of my life doing the kind of hands-on work that relates directly to what our Highway Department does every day. I understand the work, I’m comfortable doing the work, and I believe that experience has prepared me to lead the department and serve the town I’ve always called home.
