THANK YOU voters of Ferndale for your overwhelming support in the November election!

I never dreamed, 20 years after discovering Ferndale, that I’d have the honor of serving as Mayor.  While much has changed since then, the best things about Ferndale are exactly the same.  We make newcomers feel welcome, and make neighbors feel like family.  Ferndale is a community in the truest sense of the word.

Now, maintaining our quality of life in the midst of the worst economic times in our lifetime has become our great task.  In response, I can only strive to make sound decisions by being as open and transparent as possible, involving all our stakeholders – the residents, employees and business owners – and by putting Ferndale’s best interest ahead of anything else.  That’s how I approach my job everyday as your Mayor.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve our community.  I know our best years are still ahead.
