CORE VALUES I BELIEVE IN

***SMALL BUT EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT

Government can be ineffective whether it be large or small. I believe it often has to do with management skills and capability. I have been able to successfully manage a very small County Surveying Department very effectively with a small staff thanks in part to advances in surveying technology.

***A GOVERNMENT THAT IS NON-INTRUSIVE IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE

There are several extremely important and vital government services provided to people. Outside of these services I believe in the least amount of government involvement possible.

***A GOVERNMENT THAT WILL BE RESPONSIVE IN PROTECTING OUR RIGHTS

I have been working diligently for the past 30 years in protecting YOUR property rights and am committed and passionate about continuing that process.

***A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT

I have managed the County Surveyor's budget successfully and responsibly in a very fiscally conservative county. I am always trying to find ways of doing more with less because I know the source of those dollars and how hard citizens work to earn them. You will always get a lot of "bang for your buck" with my office.

I BELIEVE WHOLE-HEARTEDLY IN ALL OF THE CORE VALUES OF THE STATE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND HAVE SPENT THE PAST 30 YEARS PROMOTING ONE OF THOSE "KEY" VALUES, THAT OF PROTECTING YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS!

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
**REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL LAND SURVEYOR SINCE 1985
**CHIEF DEPUTY, UTAH COUNTY SURVEYOR'S OFFICE FOR 25 YEARS
**REPRESENTING UTAH COUNTY INTERESTS AS PARTICIPATING MEMBER OF UAC (Utah Association of Counties)
**ACTIVE MEMBER OF UCLS (Utah Council of Land Surveyors)



OTHER: Having basically served as the chief deputy in the County Surveyor's Office for many years, I have been made intimately aware of the statutory functions of the Office and have been performing those effectively. I understand those functions very well and that helps me be effective for your benefit. I don't have any hidden agendas that many political candidates seeking office may have. My only agenda lies in serving YOU the citizen and helping protect YOUR interests.

As all of us go through this political process together you may have all kinds of questions pertaining to the County Surveyor function. While there are several statutory functions of the Office, none is more "key" than the location and preservation of over 4000 survey monuments county-wide. These monuments also known as the "PLSS" literally define your property title rights and as such become important to all of us. We have been able to identify approximately 3300 of these 4000 monuments. I have made it a priority to identify the remaining 700. I have personally been to all 3300 of these identified monuments, some of them multiple times. I know their history, condition, etc. There is NO ONE on any level of government OR in the private sector that understands or knows more about these monuments or has a better understanding of the history of surveying in Utah County. I AM VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING THE RIGHT PERSON SERVING YOU IN THIS CAPACITY.

I look forward to meeting you and encourage your support!
