Actively involved with my family, church and community.
I get the most enjoyment from spending time with my family, whether it’s at the lake or taking advantage of the many great places to eat and be entertained in and around Kansas City. My family and I are members of the Bonner Springs United Methodist Church where I find it very rewarding to be a part of the leadership team. My community involvement is my main focal point at this time. Currently I am serving as a City Councilman, a position I have held since 2001.
Spending time with my family, my two sons Jarred and Connor and my wife Marcia keeps me quite busy. It seems that we are always getting involved in some kind of fun and exciting local activities. One of those is the local city band concerts each summer where I help out as a master of ceremonies, which is always good for a laugh.
Throughout the years I have been a member of the BSUMC and am currently a member of the Staff and Parish Relations Committee, a position that I enjoy because of its involvement with such a wide range of individuals throughout the entire congregation.
Being a lifelong Bonner Springs resident, and having graduated from Bonner Springs High School in 1979 our community has become quite important to me and I am committed to its continued success. After graduating from the University of Kansas in 1984, and from Kansas City Kansas Community College in 1987, I was able to land a position as a funeral director and embalmer here at our family business, the fourth generation of my family to do so. Shortly thereafter, in 1989, I got involved with local government and volunteered for the Planning and Zoning Commission where I was a member for 12 years. Since 2001 I have served as a City Councilman for Ward Four in Bonner Springs and have enjoyed my community involvement working to protect and plan for my hometown.
