I’m a lifelong Benzie County resident, former educator, business owner, design, marketing & events coordinator, landlord for commercial and residential properties and I wouldn’t live anywhere else!

It’s great to see Benzie County getting ever more popular for its beauty and activities—hiking, biking, boating, fishing, tourism. But with Cold Creek running by my house into Crystal Lake, I know public policy, transparency, and accountability are crucial for protecting our beauty, especially our lakes and streams.

Finding affordable housing is a huge challenge for my staff—and our entire community. I want to solve that, especially for families also searching for affordable child care. And we must be fiscally responsible, keeping taxes, utility & technology costs affordable, so all of us can always live in this incredible county.

I want this area to keep growing and thriving, and I want to help make it happen!

Contact me with issues you’d like to discuss or come in to our deli for a cup of coffee and I’d love to hear what you have to say.
