Focused On Our Future

I am not a “politician”, I am a public servant who is vested in our city. Serving the City of Elkins is something I am very passionate about; I am focused on the future for not only my family but YOURS. I want to take what we have and continue to build upon it in order to make our city greater than it has ever been. With my years of public service, I feel I have a unique insight to the needs of the residents of Elkins. I hope to continue my service as your Mayor with an open-door policy. This is OUR city and I feel you should have the opportunity to express your concerns openly with city leaders who will listen and consider what you have to say. 

​

Pressing projects I will be focusing on include infrastructure of city drainage, improving roadways, upcoming sewer projects, and other important issues. The sports complex is one issue I have made progress towards.  I have reached out and secured additional assistance in making the current fields and complex grounds something our community can be proud of.  I look forward to speaking with residents of the city to hear your concerns and where you would like to see our city go from here. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time.
