My job as Director of my company`s tax and
finance division has provided me with a wide
variety of experience with both short -term and
long -term organizational tax and financial
planning. I work for an international company with
over 40,000 U.S. Based associates with a presence
in all 50 states. My company has remained stable
despite the challenging economic conditions of the
last several years and the division that I am
responsible for has continued to experience
financial growth since its inception in 2003. The
reason for my team's continued growth is that we
have been able to find an appropriate balance
managing our short term company goals and

results with a long term strategy to continue to
better position ourselves in the marketplace and be
the absolute best at what we do. My division is the
number one provider of fully outsourced payroll
services in the country and we will continue this
growth by continuing to combine short term
business results with long term planning and
realistic goal - setting.
I am a native of Wisconsin but have lived
elsewhere in various locales around the US for
several years, My wife and I chose to move to
Oshkosh from the Seattle, Washington area in
2006. We visited the city as a side trip to an annual
vacation that we take every year in Green Lake,
Wisconsin. On a beautiful summer day, we walked
around the city for several hours and determined
that this was the place that we wanted to settle and
to raise a family. Very shortly after this we made
an offer on a historical home on Algoma Blvd and
the rest is history. We officially moved here in the
July of 2007 and have never once regretted our
decision to relocate. Our son was born in
December of 2007 and both my wife and I feel
blessed that our family is now a part of a city with
such wonderful potential. Although I feel that
there are many positive attributes to Oshkosh I am
very concerned that our city in general tends to be
shortsighted and overly conservative in looking at
big picture, long term goals. The key to any long
term project is sound planning and setting realistic
goals that truly are going to improve the quality of
life for the residents of Oshkosh. Unfortunately, I
haven't seen this type of comprehensive planning
in the three - and -half years that I have lived here.
For the legacy of my son, my wife, and all of the
people of Oshkosh who have welcomed us I want
to give something back to this city. I want to make
this a better place to live for the people who live
here now and who, like I did almost 4 years ago,
will someday make Oshkosh their home. I strongly
believe in the potential of Oshkosh and would be
honored to serve on the Long Range Finance
Committee in some capacity. I feel that my work
experience, combined with my unique life
experiences in many different US Cities, will be an
asset for this or any other committee looking for
someone with a different perspective and an eye
on realistic long term, big picture planning. Thank
you very much for your time and consideration.
