Webster’s dictionary defines progress as a “gradual betterment” or “forward movement”. The progress in Blue Springs, while admittedly gradual, is exciting to see and experience. Our Blue Springs citizens and local businesses have many opportunities to help move our community forward, to achieve the objectives identified by our citizen surveys, taskforces and focus groups. Local businesses and citizens are making a difference, by choosing to become involved. The spirit of community engagement flourishes when dedicated individuals work together for the common good. It’s happening in Blue Springs!
My business is CPros, a custom software and IT services company, providing services to individuals and businesses for twenty-four years. We sell Dell computers, assist businesses and non-profit agencies develop and maintain their computer networks, clean viruses off of computers, and build service oriented computer software programs to help businesses provide quality service to their own customers.
During my term of service on the Blue Springs City Council, I advocated for policies that promoted cooperation between the city and the business community, looking for changes that would make it easier for business in Blue Springs to be successful. I’m proud of my involvement, and hope to enjoy another term as a City Councilman, should the voters of District 1 choose to elect me on April 5th.
Adams Dairy Landing is an excellent example of successful growth made possible by business friendly policies. By actively encouraging the development community to economically support our schools, and seek the support of the school district in all incentive programs that are considered, successful public-private partnerships evolve. It is crucial to ensure our continued progress that we carefully consider every opportunity, weighing the potential benefits against proposed cost and risk.
Strategic planning and advocating for our city is vital in positioning Blue Springs as a community of choice, both for citizens and businesses. CPros is a founding member and investing partner of the Blue Springs Economic Development Corporation, and I’m proud to serve as a City Appointee on their Board of Directors. The EDC works closely with our city, identifying opportunities and facilitating investment with businesses seeking to locate here.

My father carried the following poem in his coat pocket and I carry it now in memory of him:
"This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or grow in its light. What I do with this day is important, because I have exchanged a day of my life for it. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. I hope I will not regret the price I paid for it."
