I consider it a privilege and honor to serve the citizens of the City of Peru as "Building Commissioner." Having been a resident and business man of the Miami County area all my life I feel this is a great way to give something back. 

Having been a life long resident I feel I have a lot to offer the community and bring to this position. 

My 30 plus years in the building trades covers a very broad spectrum and many venues, for example, Industrial, Commercial, Residential and Agricultural construction. Formal education in mechanical & architectural drafting, along with state certification in laser instrument technologies as well as road construction.

I started my career in the construction industry doing menial labor. Before long I was doing carpenter work and managing crews then projects. At the ripe old age of 21, I built my first building, a residential single story home. In 1978 I started a general contracting business, operating that for 25 years, serving Miami and surrounding counties.

I count it a great privilege to serve this community, and look forward to the challenges that lie ahead. As we move forward let us work together to make this a better community. I know I will strive to do the best I can as the City of Peru’s "Building Commissioner."
