Currently I reside at the corner of 18th avenue and 18th street A in the Greater Willard Wharton N.P.A. area.  I have been a homeowner in the neighborhood since 2000.  Keeping my neighborhood a safe, clean, and friendly environment is a top priority of mine.  I work for John Deere Harvester World Wide Product Development Center, and have been employed there for 9 years.  I own 3 dogs and 1 bird, and spend most of my time at home or in the neighborhood with family and friends.  I have recently joined the Greater Willard Wharton N.P.A (Neighborhood Partnership Association) due to an increase in vandalism, and crime in the neighborhood in the last 3 years.  Recently my own vehicle was vandalized twice in a two month span with no suspects to look for.  I have also installed now 4 security cameras covering the immediate block on 18th Street A and 18th Avenue, to help combat vandalism and crime as well as have the capability to have video footage as proof of crime in the area.
