My Grandfather was president of his local Carpenter’s Union. The importance of Labor as an advocate for workers was ingrained in me from a very young age. The importance of Local 36 was emphasized to me from my early days on the job and active members of Local 36 encouraged me to get involved with the Union. We are stronger together.
Responsible for day to day operations of the organization as well as advocating for responsible legislation that will benefit the health, safety and well being for the entire membership.
Walter Webb asked me to do a project gathering the names and dates of all the members who had recieved bronze/silver/gold awards. Shortly after, there were some drastic changes that were impacting the membership that I felt we needed to stand up against and make sure the members voices were heard.

I was always interested in being involved with negotiations of our contracts, rights for members and working conditions, and making sure our members are treated and represented fairly.

Its been important to stay involved with Local 36 on some level throughout my career. Safe practices, employee rights, and compensation bind us together and I have always paid attention to those issues and tried to help where I believed I could add value. After learning that our longstanding Treasurer would be stepping down, I saw an opportunity to increase my participation and vigilantly manage our Organization's financial health.
I've always admired the brotherhood of our Local. Our Local gives its members favorable working conditions and the most vital benefits through collective bargaining. The tradition runs deep and I'm excited to be a part of history in the making.
