I strongly desire to serve the citizens of Pulaski County as their next Treasurer.  In doing so, I will work together with all elected officials to make our county stronger and better poised to meet the expectations of its citizens.  I believe there is no obligation more important than being the steward of our citizens’ hard earned tax dollars and I will commit my every effort to being totally accountable, responsible and accessible to all.

I have ten (10) plus years of progressive experience as a manager and administrator.  I have been involved in the planning, budgeting and managing activities of organizations with complex missions and am currently responsible and accountable for dollars, notes, stocks, bonds, and other securities receipted for the estates in the charge of the Public Administrator’s Office.  I will perform the duties of Treasurer with the utmost integrity, loyalty, and diligence in service to the great citizens of Pulaski County.
