I look forward to representing District 51. The Manhattan, St George, Topeka, and Wamego areas have been my home for 27 years. I was born and raised in Brewster, Kansas and came to KSU in 1965. In the U.S. Army I served in the Infantry as a Platoon Leader in Korea and in the Veterinary Corps. I have been married 43 years to Linda (Mayer) from Marysville, and we have a daughter and son and two grandsons.

My degrees are BS, DVM, and PhD. I worked in Veterinary private practice, principally with large animals, and taught at KSU while receiving my PhD in Veterinary Pharmacology/Physiology.

After a career in Research and Development of new animal drugs, I retired from Bayer Animal Health. We reside in Wabaunsee County where I have been Chairman of the Republican Party for 3 years.

I am running for the Kansas House of Representatives to serve the people of the 51st District, and because I feel called back into service out of concern for our Representative Republic. I respect and appreciate the people of this District and ask for your vote on November 6.
