Lone Tree Experience That Matters
 

As Chairman of the Lone Tree Planning Commission, I  

  1. Lead the review of development proposals, and zoning decisions that shape the future of our community

  2. Preside over formal quasi-judicial hearings and facilitate public comment

  3. ​Understand the city’s planning and development process.

  4. Know the roles of developers, city planners, the Planning Commission, and City Council

  5. Promote thoughtful analysis, transparency, and collaboration to produce the best outcomes for Lone Tree

​

Corporate Experience That Counts

 

My professional experience spans engineering, corporate leadership,
and entrepreneurship, including:

  1. A degree in Civil and Architectural Engineering

  2. Interior Design Engineer at Douglas Aircraft Company

  3. Rocky Mountain Division Operations Manager for Nabors Industries, a major oil and gas drilling contractor

  4. Cofounded Avtrak, Inc., an aviation maintenance management company 

  5. As Avtrak's president, built Avtrak to hundreds of customers and 60 employees in six international locations including Centennial Airport

  6. After 20 years of growth, negotiated the successful sale of Avtrak


From my decades of experience I have honed the skills to:

  1. Analyze financial statements and manage large budgets

  2. Negotiate and execute complex contracts

  3. Hire talented people and built strong teams

  4. Balance growth with financial discipline

  5. Determine the applicability of federal regulations and contract terms

  6. Carefully weigh high-consequence risk versus reward decisions

​

These comprehensive analytical and decision-making skills are essential to making sound, responsible decisions on City Council.


My Full-Time Commitment to Lone Tree


With the sale of my company, I now am able to give Lone Tree my undivided attention.  I am committed to:

 

  1. Fully prepare for meetings

  2. Participate fully in healthy debate

  3. Study issues in depth

  4. Represent Lone Tree well on Metro and Regional councils and boards

  5. Ensure decisions are thoughtful and well-informed

  6. Meet with residents

  7. Fully engage in the work required to serve our community well

Personal Investment in Lone Tree
My wife Carol and I have been married for 35 years. We raised our twin daughters in Douglas County, and today we are proud grandparents of two young girls.


We moved to Lone Tree in 2018 and purchased our home in The Enclave the following year.  Soon I was elected to the Enclave HOA Board of Directors.

 

To better serve the city, I applied for a seat on the Planning Commission, and was appointed  to that position by City Council in 2022.  I was elected Vice Chairman in 2023, and Chairman in 2024 - the office I currently hold.


Throughout my life I have been active in service organizations, including church leadership, Rotary Club, mission work in Guatemala, and nonprofit Board of Directors. I currently serve on the Board of Directors and as Treasurer for Betts Vets, a nonprofit serving military veterans.

​

​My experience as an engineer, business leader, entrepreneur, and Planning Commission Chairman gives me the tools to evaluate development proposals carefully, understand infrastructure needs, and ensure that decisions serve the long-term interests of our residents.
 

I have always believed in being a participant, not an observer. I am ready to put a lifetime of experience to work — full time — for you, the citizens of Lone Tree.
