My extensive experience of serving on volunteer boards, associations and organizations has helped me to effectively serve as a City Council member.
My experience of being a Department Manager in the oilfield for years plus additional years as the Policy and Procedures Manager for the entire corporation will provide good leadership skills. Following that, I spent over 17 years of building and running a very successful small business which I sold in 2005, due to medical issues, in order to semi-retire early.
