I graduated from SUNY at Stony Brook with a BS in Computer Science as well as a Commercial pilot’s license from the local flight school. My first job after college was as a software engineer, but it didn’t take long to realize I felt more at home in the sky than behind a desk. So, I joined the United States Air Force Reserves, where I flew C-141 cargo planes around the world as a pilot and aircraft commander.

That experience led me to a 40-year career with United Airlines, where I flew internationally as a wide-body Captain. Along the way, I experienced the ups and downs of the airline industry—after 9/11, when many airlines struggled, I even spent a few years working as a realtor in the Madison area.

More than 25 years ago, my family and I chose Windsor as the place to call home and raise our three daughters. All three attended DeForest schools and went on to graduate from UW–Madison.

Giving back to my community has always been important to me. For over 16 years, I’ve served on the Token Creek Conservancy Committee, helping care for the land and waters that make our area so special. I’ve also spent more than a decade as a stream monitor with the Rock River Coalition, collecting water samples from Token Creek to support local conservation efforts. I serve as an election worker and have volunteered with Meals on Wheels, the McKenzie Center, and our local schools.
Today, I’m honored to be serving my first term as County Supervisor. I’m committed to listening, working hard, and doing my best to represent the people of this community.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in the garden, in the kitchen trying a new recipe, traveling, visiting family, scuba diving, skiing, on a yoga mat, or perhaps on the stage, trying my hand at singing and dancing in my new found interest in local theater.
