A Lifetime of Leadership, Rooted in Kansas

I'm proud of Kansas. My values were shaped here. Not surprising, I really enjoy problem solving and building organizations from the ground up. I've gained a lot of perspective serving as former President of the Board of Trustees for Flint Hills Technical College. And, decades of senior leadership at The Dow Chemical Company, CEO of Styron Inc., and Co-Founder and CEO of Green Dot Bioplastics has given me great experience.

Now, I'm ready to bring that deep business and economic expertise to the State House. I'm running for the Kansas House of Representatives because I believe our rural districts deserve experienced, practical leadership that knows how to create steady jobs, protect public education, and ensure our families have the resources they need to thrive.

I have the time, the energy, and the dedication to deliver real results for the citizens of House District 13.

Problem Solver - Consensus Builder - Business Leader

I'm running because life on the prairie is the best life!
