Leadership Jackson County
Board of Directors 2025-2026

Born and raised in Jackson County, I served 25 years with the Jackson County Sheriff’s Dept, retiring as Sheriff. I had the privilege of attending Leadership Jackson County in 2005-2006 and joined the Board of Directors in 2007. I most recently rejoined the board in 2022. Since retiring from the Sheriff’s Office, I manage our six-generation family farm and have a small contracting business. 

Graduating from LJC in 2013, I served on the Board of Directors from 2014-2019. I am currently serving my second term on the board. I am the Director of Diagnostic Imaging at Schneck Medical Center where I have worked for the past 36 years. LJC has helped me foster an environment where people work together effectively to achieve common goals and objectives.

I graduated from Leadership Jackson County in 2024 and joined the Board of Directors in the same year. I have worked at Cummins for the past 14 years where I am the Senior Finance Analyst. Leadership Jackson County has helped me learn about the different ways one can be involved in the community.

​

I have been with the Jackson County Chamber for 13 years. I was part of the LJC class of 2022, and I joined the Leadership Jackson County Board in 2024. My husband and I have three grown children and a granddaughter. 

I am a Commercial Service Agent at Beatty Insurance, Inc. where I have worked since 1997. As a 2023 graduate of Leadership Jackson County, I have learned that it is okay to leave the workday behind to invest in our community. I joined the Board of Directors for LJC in 2023. I am a mom of three and grandmother of four. 

​

I serve as the Retail Operations Manager at Premier Companies, where I've spent the past seven years leading teams and enhancing customer experiences. I am a proud 2020 graduate of LJC and joined the Board of Directors in 2025. I am a devoted husband and father of two daughters. My passion for people and dedication to service are matched by a deep commitment to the community where I live and work.

Residing in Jackson County, my husband and I have four children. I have been employed at Cummins Engine Company for over 20 years and currently serve as Technical Operations Group Leader. I am also the Site Recognition Leader with our Community Involvement Team. I graduated from LJC in 2022, and joined the Board of Directors in 2023. My favorite leadership quote is, "To lead is to serve."

I have been with Schneck Medical Center for 25 years, currently as the Director of Marketing and Public Relations. As a 2003 graduate of Leadership Jackson County, I learned about the power of collaboration and my participation in LJC deepened my commitment to making a positive impact in Jackson County. I joined the Board of Directors in 2022.

​

I proudly serve as Jackson County Recorder. My family and I live in Brownstown, where I served as Brownstown Township Trustee for 16 years prior to my current role. I was in the Leadership Jackson County class of 2023 and found it to be an amazing experience. LJC has given me the chance to meet some wonderful people, and I am excited to have the opportunity to serve on the LJC Board of Directors.​​​

I was born and raised in Jackson County but was still surprised by how much my wife and I learned as LJC class members. While my work life at Cummins and Schwätzer's German Restaurant connects me to my community, LJC engages me with my community. This engagement has confirmed my motivation to raise our family in Jackson County. ​​
