Dedication and Service

I have lived and worked in District 15 for the past 38 years." To "Why I work and serve the people of District 15

I am actively still work in the consulting engineering business. Over almost 40 years, I have helped develop West Ouachita Parish performing site planning, subdivisions, building design, drainage works and sewer works.

In the engineering business one solves problems every day for the public which I like to call “opportunities”.

With my background in business and engineering, I am here to solve problems and create opportunities in the legislature that will greatly benefit the people of District 15.

Away from work, I enjoy golfing, fishing, and playing music. I am and have been involved with community and civic organizations. One organization I am very involved in is the West Monroe Civitan Club of which I have been a member for over 25 years. I was very involved with the Civilian project called The Smiles Park at Kiroli Park. The Smiles Park is a play area for physically and mentally challenged children to allow them to play and interact with other children.

I am a member of the NRA and support the 2nd Amendment. I am pro-life and believe in right to live laws. I am honored to represent and serve you in District 15. Feel free to contact my office so I can listen and support the issues that are important to you.
