I was appointed in December, 2007 to complete the term of Mr. Hoxie and will be running for reelection in 2008. My focus is to use my experience as an Attorney , CPA and small business owner to ensure that best business practices are being applied to all aspects of Cherryland’s operations. As a manager of the Copper Ridge Development in Traverse City and a partner in the consulting firm Three West, LLC, I know how critical it is that our members receive quality electrical services at competitive prices now and in the future. This can only be accomplished by striving to improve our operations and focusing on the long term investments in our people, equipment and infrastructure.
