For the last ten years I’ve served as the Mayor and Safety Director of Maple Heights, where I’m proud to say I led the city’s economic turnaround. Upon taking office our city was in fiscal emergency and on the state’s official ‘fiscal watch’ list. I turned my living room into a war room and poured through the books so I could write our five year turnaround plan and it worked. Maple Heights has since been the recipient of numerous “Clean Audit” awards and is recognized as one of the state’s best partners.
