WHY I'M RUNNING

I am committed to a thriving, connected, and sustainable Freeport. I want to see a Freeport that is accessible and supportive of young people, families, and older folks who want to age in place. This vision requires a thriving economy, sufficient and affordable housing, and a healthy and resilient environment. I’m committed to building a strong and connected community where we come together as neighbors to solve problems and support one another.

ABOUT ME

​

 

As a proud resident of Freeport and former local business owner for more than 50 years, I am committed to giving back to the community that has given so much to my family and me. With my wife, I founded and ran Brown Goldsmiths & Co for 52 years, a successful business dedicated to fair and ethical practices and commitment to the community. The qualities I brought to my craft as a jeweler— curiosity, attention to detail, and problem solving— I bring to all my endeavors. I am the father of two Freeport public schools graduates, and grandfather of four grandchildren, two of whom attend Freeport public schools. I’m eager to draw on my experience, my ability to listen, and my dedication to this community to serve the people of Freeport.
