Thank you for nominating me for another three year term on the IHOA Board of Directors. I
have enjoyed serving the membership for over thirty (30) years and take these responsibilities
and obligations very seriously.

I have been officiating since 1993 and have been very active in the association on and off the ice
for the past several years. In 1996, I was elected to the IHOA Board of Directors and have
served as Treasurer since Don Allord appointed me “Treasurer For Life” in 1997.
In addition to my duties as Treasurer, I have been a certified USA Hockey Seminar Instructor
since going to Colorado Springs with the late Mike Zyburt in 2003. The first seminar I taught
was with the late Tom Osiol, which made the honor of being the 2012 Seminar Instructor of the
Year Award that much more meaningful.

During my tenure as an IHOA Board member, I have served on almost every committee and
originated the IHOA Scholarship and the Performance Education and Development (PED)
programs. By being nominated to serve another term, it seems as if the officiating community
has benefited from my participation and experience. I will continue to try and make a difference
for all if I am elected to another term.

As a member of the IHHOF (Illinois Hockey Hall of Fame), I am still excited to help advance
officiating in the state of Illinois.

Thanks to all of you for your attendance and participation in the Annual Meeting.
