Other facts
I have been blessed with a great life that includes my wonderful wife and 2 kids. I was raised in Richfield and was able to enjoy our old baseball fields and Boy Scouts here. When we moved back to the cities after college we made our home in Richfield because it is a great place to live. My MBA capstone included a project for the Government of Colombia S.A studying tourism. I believe in Richfield and the good people who live here. We need someone on our city council who will ask good questions instead of rubber-stamping votes. We need real people to step up and run for all level of office, not the career politicians and activists we seem to get. I have created a Facebook page www.facebook.com/richfieldward2 to help give residents an easy way to trade ideas with me and, in the future, our city council. Working together we can improve our city.
