As I meet with residents and businesses throughout the 3rd District and the broader community, I will share topics and concerns that come to my attention. If you have any questions or feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The new Hillmoor Commission is actively developing a Master Plan that encompasses all five zones of the park. As a recommending body, the commission provides guidance, while final decisions rest with the City Council. The park is now open for everyone to visit and enjoy.

  • On November 25, 2024, the City Council adopted a new Short-Term Rental ordinance, Section 98-206(8)(y) of the Municipal Code. Additionally, the City has invested in STR tracking and monitoring software to improve program management. For more information, please visit the Short-Term Rental page on the City’s website.

  • Convenient and safe parking near the lake and downtown is essential to ensure residents and visitors have equal access during peak times. This also helps discourage long-term parking in these high-demand areas. Importantly, all funds collected are reinvested and benefit the residents of Lake Geneva. And remember, residents can obtain parking passes at City Hall for free parking of up to three hours.

  • The major issues currently impacting our City are Hillmoor, short-term rentals, parking, Main Street construction in 2027 & 2028, City finances, public works and infrastructure projects, housing and land use, and public safety.

  • The City Council and staff, working closely with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Main Street businesses, and residents, are actively developing strategies to minimize disruption during the project. A project team, comprising representatives from all affected groups, meets regularly to coordinate plans and actions. Key efforts include rerouting traffic, providing clear signage, and communicating updates to residents and visitors throughout every phase. By working together, we can turn a challenging situation into a positive outcome. Once completed, our Main Street will serve the community effectively for decades to come.

  • Throughout my 35-year business career—and earlier as a high school teacher and coach—I have deeply valued developing strong communication, collaboration, and leadership skills. As a business executive, I excelled in leading strategy, governance, planning, financial management, government affairs, marketing, operations, and business development. I directed governmental advocacy programs at both state and federal levels, successfully turned around underperforming organizations, and identified and cultivated new revenue streams. I have managed budgets as large as $27 million. This track record and breadth of real-world experience equip me with a unique skill set to contribute effectively to the Lake Geneva City Council.

  • Our great city faces many challenges that require capable, experienced, collaborative, and intuitive leadership. With my background, experience, and proven track record, I am confident I can deliver results promptly and effectively.

  • The City Council needs members who build strong relationships, resolve conflicts, and deliver solutions promptly. Local government works best when the interests of residents, businesses, and visitors come first, and personal agendas are set aside. Throughout my service on the City Council, collaborating to find the best solutions and maintaining open communication with the community will be my top priorities.

  • At the local level, public safety—including law enforcement, fire, and emergency services—is paramount. Our community must ensure these departments are properly funded and supported. Meanwhile, most other social services are provided by county, state, and federal agencies, as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
