I grew up in Aurora, IL and after graduating high school decided I wanted a career in public safety. I entered Emergency Medical Technician school and after completion started working for an ambulance company in Morris, Illinois.
Realizing I enjoyed the medical field as well as the challenges, I attended Paramedic school at Delnor Community Hospital in Geneva. After completing the course as well as clinicals, I was hired as a paramedic for the Morris Fire Protection District in Morris, Illinois. I worked two years as a paramedic and was hired by Champaign Fire Department in July of 1997. At CFD, I have progressed through the ranks and am currently a Battalion Chief. I have been active on numerous committees at the fire department as well as with Champaign Firefighters Local 1260, the labor organization that represents Champaign Firefighters. I graduated from Parkland College with an A.A.S. degree specializing in Paramedicine and with a degree in Business Administration/Public Administration from Southern New Hampshire University.
In 2013, I ran and was elected as the City of Champaign Township Supervisor. Since taking office we have expanded our available programs as well as increased the services provided to our citizens. In 2018, I was appointed to the National Association of Local Boards of Health as an at Large Member and re-elected later that year. I was elected President of NALBOH in 2020 and currently serve as Past President.
