About
Farmington Hills city Council, citing among other reasons, my enthusiasm, energy and creative ideas, unanimously...
selected me as council member in January 2021. I built an award winning and successful custom home building company and coached at Farmington Gymnastics Center for almost 30 years. I was appointed as council liaison to the Parks and Rec Commission by Mayor Vicki Barnett.
I authored the 20-year vision for the city of Farmington Hills
(FH20XL - VISION) and presented it on June 14, 2021, where it was unanimously and enthusiastically supported by city Council, and this will serve as my cornerstone goal over the next 4 years as Council member. The redevelopment of the 12 Mile Rd. corridor can serve as a "City Center" for Farmington Hills, and by allowing the conversion of the office buildings into owner occupied, mixed use residential and retail space, could attract more than 5000 new families to our city. These micro-communities could include interconnected, tree-lined bike and walking trails, permanent art exhibits, projection mapping of art, videos and movies, community centers, EV charging stations, solar panels, community gardens and so much more.
I believe these new communities could generate more than 20 million dollars yearly, in additional general fund revenue, and more than 100 million dollars in additional school aid funding to our city. The initiatives we could implement, with just a portion of the additional general fund revenue, could make our wonderful city truly special.
I support a strong Police and Fire Department, expansion of our Parks and Recs services, expansion of our senior citizen services and all the initiatives in the FH20XL - VISION.
