Why am running for Select Board?

I am a lifelong resident of Pembroke and raised my family here. I have an Info Technology background and 28 years with the Mass National Guard and I want to put my skills and know-how to help my community. I have never been a political person but I’m doing this as I would like to see a more balanced Select Board. 

I have children who went through the Pembroke Public Schools.  I served in the army and am a Iraq War Veteran.  I am a man who believes in serving my country.  I believe that Pembroke is a great place to live, work and visit and we need to keep the history and charm of this town.  At the same time, we need to help guide development that can help our town grow for our residents and businesses.  If we don’t allow growth, then we won’t be able to sustain our services to the residents in a fiscally responsible way.

My Priorities include:

• Representing all Pembroke Residents
• Upgrading Pembroke’s Infrastructure
• Supporting Educational Initiatives
• Build a sustainable local economy
