I’ve had the privilege on several occasions to talk with Steve about filling the vacant commercial and industrial properties around town. His business acumen & understanding of the needs & desires of both residents and businesses would definitely be of great benefit when it comes to sitting down with interested parties and getting leases signed and properties sold.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Steve for many years and have found him to be professional, knowledgeable, consistent and thoughtful. As a local business owner, he has displayed a dedication not only to his customers but to the community itself and by running for council he is committed to helping to build Cottage Grove’s business climate, which will benefit all.

Steve understands what is special here and wants to preserve and grow that. He has the business sense and experience, the personal investment and determination to work hard on the issues of Cottage Grove. He is dedicated to staying informed and making sound decisions leading to a Cottage Grove that is better for business and, more importantly, better for our families.
