 Why Tim wants to represent the 47th!

Property Tax Reform – Property taxes are out of control.  So far, the proposals to reform our system have not worked.  We need solutions that do not jeopardize our rural communities and schools while delivering the same quality of service we have come to expect.

Quality of Life – Large cities are imposing their jurisdiction in our lives through annexation threats and regional commissions.  Tim will introduce legislation that will require jurisdictional approval and input BEFORE these larger governments dig into our back pocket.

Quality Schools – Tim supports quality education through school choice and parent involvement.  Competitive school choice promotes better opportunities for our children and their families.

Tim was born and raised in Wisconsin.  After meeting his wife Pamela at the University of Wisconsin, they settled in the area to raise a family.  Today, Tim, Pam and their two daughters make their home in Merrimac.

Tim is an accomplished leader with over 20 years of experience serving in the local community.  Tim began his work with the Middleton Jaycees and became a Wisconsin Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) state officer.  Having traveled Wisconsin for the Jaycees, he has worked with local leaders from all over the state.

Tim is the Town Administrator in the Town of Merrimac and owns his own property management business.  He is the president of his church council and the Merrimac Community Charter School Governance Council.  Tim knows it is here, at the community level, that people make a difference for their families and their neighbors.

Tim is ready to take his experience to the next level.  Tim understands the challenges of delivering real services at the local level.  To protect our quality of life, it is time for him to make an impact in the State Legislature.

In Tim’s free time, he enjoys hunting, fishing, bowling and spending time with his family.
