ABOUT
The Full Story
Hello Hales Corners Resident:)
I was born, raised and have lived my whole life in Hales Corners. I started my political involvement at the age of 33 when I was elected as a Village trustee. My father was very involved in politics on the local level. Dad always told me, "If you don't like it, work to change it!"
I joined the Village Board, as a younger man, with a vision to improve Hales Corners and a plan for a better future. One of my first commitments to voters was writing a code of ethics, which proved to be one of the toughest codes in the State of Wisconsin. Next, I updated the policy and procedures manual for the Village. I spearheaded the drive to implement the tornado warning siren. I also authored and created the Village wide Safety Inspection Program. Through the years, I have served on almost every village committee including:
*Planning Commission *Environmental/Ecology
*Board of Health *Personnel Negotiations
*Public Works *Library Board Liaison
*Multiple AdHoc Committees *Recreation
*Finance *Employee Handbook
*Safety Licensing & Ordinances *Fourth of July
*Community Development Authority (CDA)
*Space Needs for Library, Fire Department & Village Hall
*Site Selection for the Present Fire Department Location
Leadership and communication skills are critical bringing about and implementing positive change, in our community. Over the years, there have been many changes in the Village. I'll continue to preserve our village identity and grow economically. We encompass only 3.2 square miles but great things come in small packages. We have all heard how visitors come here for our Fourth of July Celebration and feel like they have stepped into a Norman Rockwell painting. I am proud that we are a welcoming, heartwarming and giving community.
As we move forward, I want to continue to be your full-time Village President. A president who remembers our past and looks towards a better future for all residents. I have a plan and need your help in shaping our tomorrow.
Thank you for the privilege of letting me serve you!
Dan
