A clear vision for OPPD's future

With over 40 years of experience in the electric utility industry, including 14 years as a Senior Executive at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,  I have a unique perspective and skill set that is currently missing from the OPPD Board.  I'm committed to sharing this expertise to ensure OPPD makes the best decisions, delivering reliable and affordable electricity to our customers.  

Accountability in action

As a results-driven leader, I will work diligently with fellow board members to ensure OPPD management is held accountable. We must meet critical milestones and uphold our commitments to the community. My focus is on tangible outcomes that benefit every customer of OPPD.

Informed decisions for a brighter future

My extensive technical knowledge of the utility industry is a resource I pledge to share. This ensures that every decision made by the OPPD board is grounded in expertise, leading to the most effective and efficient outcomes for our customers and the future of Omaha's energy landscape.

Strategic leadership for reliable, affordable power

Leveraging my executive leadership skills and strategic planning experience, I will ensure OPPD management lives up to its commitment: providing reliable and affordable power while working to achieve net zero before 2050. This means retiring coal facilities to safeguard public health and putting people before politics to ensure OPPD serves the community's best interests.

"While good intentions are important, true progress for OPPD demands more. My unique blend of technical expertise and executive leadership provides the accountability needed to deliver reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy for the Omaha area."
