Candidate’s Statement (reproduced exactly as submitted):
907-299-6254
My wife and I relocated to Homer from Minnesota where we had the pleasure of raising our four children and owning several businesses. We spent six years in Homer in the years prior to our final relocation in 2008, and since our return I have commercial fished - both as a deckhand and with my own gill net operation, worked on the North Slope, as well as part time work with several businesses in town. I am retired and currently volunteer at a local non-profit organization in town.
I have concerns for our City in light of shrinking funds, increased costs of living, and spending decisions from our public agencies. There is a need to find sources for both our City and the residents of Homer to fill these gaps. It is important that our Council focuses on finding solutions to help our current local businesses expand and thrive as well as bringing in new employment sources.
Our return to Homer was with retirement in sight so my days here are numbered. It is my desire to strengthen our City as a legacy to our children and grandchildren.
