My wife, Becky, and I have been actively involved in our communities. I served on numerous boards and chaired many committees for several organizations, including the Flint Institute of Music; Flint Cultural Center; Boys and Girls Clubs of Flint and South Oakland County; the Salvation Army, Royal Oak; South Oakland YMCA; Jackson Symphony Orchestra; Jackson Affordable Housing; and many more.

I enjoy spending time with Becky, our children, and our grandchildren. Becky and I are 20-plus-year members of St. John The Evangelist Catholic Church in Fenton. We are also dedicated to animal rescue, including providing a foster home for several “furry critters.” In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends at our Houghton Lake cottage, skiing, fishing, golfing, and motorcycle touring.
