Meet The Board

My wife and I have had a home in Michigan since 2002. We recently built  a new home in 2023 on Lake Miramichi.

        I have managed my own business in the commercial snow removal and residential construction field since 1997.

        I have built numerous homes along with countless renovation projects. My wife and I have five children and eight grandchildren.

        When not working, we enjoy spending time playing golf, camping, and sitting on our deck enjoying the beauty of Lake Miramichi with a cup of coffee or a cold beverage or two.

I have been on the board for over 40 years, president a couple times and have managed the lake. I have worked with our Lake Management company for several years. I would like to join the current board in helping the members of our community.

I have been a home owner here for 16 years. I've been a board member for 12 of those years. I have owned and operated a local excavating company for the past 30 years. A skill set that is very helpful for the association. I have done many road projects throughout the association trying to get the roads back to where they should be. This is a big undertaking which is why I have joined to board again. I look forward to completing what we set out to do back in 2014. In addition to this I also grade the roads in the association.

Retired 36 years as a police officer and served as a board member to the F.O.P 124.

​

Assisted in implementing rules and regulations for the F.O.P. Served as member of the union board for Oakland Community College, the POLC. In that capacity I negotiated contracts and language to be used in the contract. I dealt with issues between management and employees.
I attended multiple seminars that help educate me and others attending on dealing with problems and issues that arise between management and employees and the construction and language in a contract.

​

I worked as a crisis negotiator for 12 years and had several classes dealing with problems and crisis that occur with people in daily life, and the interaction of people in conflict.

​

In closing, I have owned a home in Lake Miramichi for over 20 years and for the last few have made it my sole residence. I am hoping that my training and experience on working with contracts and working with boards and helping people come to resolutions will benefit the homeowners of Lake Miramichi.

Bio Coming Soon

Currently I'm employed at Herbrucks Poultry Ranch, the 16th largest chicken egg farm in the United States.  Here I apply my technical skills to support the company's IT infrastructure.  In 2020, we embarked on a new chapter by purchasing a house on the picturesque Lake Miramichi, where we now reside part time. I'm actively involved in the local community and take pride in my role as the caretaker of the Lake Miramichi website, ensuring that residents and visitors stay informed about the lake's activities and events.

I have been a part-time lake resident since 2015 and my family has been at the lake since its inception. I am deeply invested in preserving the beauty of our community for my family to continue to enjoy. I have a Master's degree in Accounting from Eastern Michigan, 8+ years of experience in commercial property management, and I am a real estate broker and business owner.  I bring a wealth of financial expertise to my role as Board Treasurer. My priorities include maintaining fiscal responsibility, supporting initiatives that enhance our community, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the lake and its surrounding environment. I am committed to transparency, sound financial planning, and making decisions that serve the best interests of our residents and the community we all cherish.

​I purchased land in Lake Miramichi Property Owner’s Association in 2018 and a home soon after.  I am retired from a 34 year career with Allstate Insurance.  I now continue to work as a Big Game Outfitter.  I enjoy hunting deer, bear and moose and I’m always happy when I am salmon fishing.
