I am interested in being considered for a position on the Adams County Airport Authority. I feel that I will make a positive contribution to this board and Adams County. I am a life-long resident of Adams County, Ohio. I have a great love for this beautiful area and want to contribute to continuation of keeping aviation available in Adams County and to allow for the expansion and excellence of this service to all citizens living in the county.

I have always been interested in aviation, especially when I was in high school. I took my first airplane ride when I was in high school. My wife of 23 years, Amanda and I have two sons who are also interested in aviation. They know a lot about planes and about the servicing of them because I have shared this with them over the years. My wife, Amanda, has always been supportive of me and my endeavors. She has been the one to always fill in wherever I have needed her and continues to do so. Amanda grew up around airplanes since she is a daughter of an aviator. She is now a spouse of an aviator. My family is a priority of mine and I try spend time with my sons and my wife on days that I have off.
