Term ending in 2011

I am a Freeport native and have lived in Freeport for over 60 years. My wife, Jane, and I reside at 1016 Bertram Drive. Jane and I have two children Andrew J. and Anna-Marie J. Klemm. Both of our children were born, raised and educated in Freeport and have since moved to Chicago. Andrew is currently working in London with APV and Anna-Marie works in Chicago for Nitel.

I am a U.S. Marine Corps Viet Nam veteran and a lifetime member of the V.F.W. I have been affiliated with many Freeport Community projects, from coaching youth sports to major fund raising campaigns. I graduated from the Highland Leadership Institute inaugural class in 1992 and served on the Freeport School Board for 8 years, (2 years as President).

I am presently employed by Johnson Controls and work from their Rockford office. I serve as a Board member on NIDA (economic development) and enjoy working with all of the residents of Freeport. I always look forward to serving the citizens of the 1st ward and the helping to move Freeport successfully in to the future
